Micro Utility Knife Keychain

thingiverse

This knife represents an effort to create the smallest, most practical utility knife holder keychain possible. Its primary goal was to minimize its form factor while maintaining a consistent visual style and leveraging 3D printing capabilities to produce a finished product. I began by modifying thing:3782051, making significant changes to several features along the way. Fortunately, having access to .STP files greatly simplified the remixing process. Key modifications included relocating and adjusting the spring's contact point, designing a more secure mechanism for sliding out the blade, and rethinking how the detent was constructed. While printing just the holder is feasible, I found that the blade proved too slippery for my liking.
