Tactile Knife Key Rings

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Bandit' is a Tiny Knife That's Virtually Indestructible

— August 23, 2017 — Lifestyle
Carrying a small knife is handy for day-to-day occurrences, but the typically bulky design makes the accessory less than ideal to lug around, which is why 'Quiet Carry' designed the 'Bandit' -- a functional cutting tool that sits inconspicuously on one's key chain. When closed, the Bandit is a mere 1.8 inches, going unnoticed in any basic purse or pocket.

The casing is crafted from the highest quality grade 5 titanium and features a stainless steel blade that is reliable and virtually indestructible. The casing helps keep the blade sharp when its needed, and covered when its not in use, offering the user a safe and functional alternative to flimsy box cutters or nerve-wracking knives.
Trend Themes

3. Everyday Carry Essentials - The growth of the EDC (Everyday Carry) community offers a profitable opportunity to businesses to design and market functional, portables, and compact daily tools, including knives.
Industry Implications
