just in case you care, you just showed your house key to the world. you might want to obscure that next time. but it's a great project!

Thanks! but i was just wondering why is it a bad idea to show my house key?

codongolev in reply to li.c.reatedJul 24, 2010. 6:25 PM

yeah, what he said... some guy invented a key that's also a keyring (genius!) and then posted the prototype online... then he had to change his locks, because he posted his house key on his international blog.

Any half-decent key-maker can duplicate a key from a photo or scan. Just to let you know =)

ive been wonting to make one but ive never found some1 showing how to make the haddles attach to the key so if u could post a instructable that would be great

sparktech in reply to chi chi chippyJul 14, 2010. 2:50 PM

drill 2 holes in your key and put a small metal pin in it then just jb weld the pin to eaither side of your handles

li.c.reated (author) in reply to sparktechJul 17, 2010. 5:37 PM

i guess i would do that but i don't have any of the tools for that. For me is was easier to work with paper

imakeknives in reply to li.c.reatedFeb 18, 2010. 1:17 AM

I know all you people out there like my house key balisong (Instructable is still coming), but I think you are all gonna like my next house key design even more.

Frag in reply to li.c.reatedMay 31, 2010. 1:54 PM

what will your next design be/when do you think it might be out?

9

li.c.reated (author) in reply to FragJul 3, 2010. 8:23 PM

I can give you a hint on what my next design is.... its spring loaded, but i'm not sure if i'm going to make an instructable on how to make it.

WANT! either way, +1.

li.c.reated (author) says: Jan 11, 2010. 5:03 PM

Well, I sorry I didn't get this instructable out this Christmas due to the fact that I have school to deal with. Which gives me little or no time to work on any of my projects.

I have gotten the chance to use the key for a while though so I can tell you what it is like using it.

First, it is very fun to have and show to your friends. The only bad thing about this is that you have to be careful when your turning your key in the key hole.

There will be more information about the experience with this in the instructable. Hopefully I can give it to you guys soon, but school and mid terms come first.

Not gonna lie, this thing is a beast. Too bad I wasn't the first to come up with this. But I got a few questions.

1) What exactly do you mean by card stock?
2) Does this work as a normal butterfly knife? Can you still do tricks?
3) Nice Job! It's a good looking mofo

li.c.reated (author) in reply to Buck FutterJul 3, 2010. 8:29 PM

1) Card stock is a paper that is thicker and more durable than normal writing or printing paper. 2) It opens and close like the actual thing. I'm not sure if you can do tricks(never really made an attempted), but I think it is to do some tricks. 3)thankyou =)
