I'm something of a one trick pony when it comes to keychain knives. I've had the same burgundy micarta Jester on my key ring for 12 years now and I have a couple more "pre-need replacements" stashed away in case I ever lose it. Only thing I'd even consider replacing it with would be a PE stag Spyderkey, if such a thing exists and I could ever find one.

I'd go with:

Ladybug H1 Hawkbill (The Baby Harpy!)
Roadie
And in with a bullet at Number 1- Clipitool with the bottle opener/pry bar combo.....I even removed the pocket clip it's that handy when hung on my keys
Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

1) LBHB
2) G10 Manbug
3) SB Manbug
A SB blade swap with the G10 would be ideal, but I'd have to get another of each before I'd do that, and too many others I want first.

I dunno about top three since I've only ever carried a single spydie attached to my keys but I highly recommend the ladybug. I've got a super blue ladybug which works great for my needs. I've been tempted to get a roadie, but I think the ladybugs ability to be open one handed is really handy and I don't think I could go without it.

Now, if an FRN jester were to ever see the light of day I'd have no choice but to get one and put it to good use. I sold my g10 sprint (life is filled with regrets) so I'd be happy to get another someday.
Most recently acquired: Military 2, Paramilitary 2 Tanto x2, YoJUMBO, Swayback, Siren, DLC Yojimbo 2, Native Chief, Shaman S90V, Para 3 LW, Ikuchi, UKPK, Smock, SUBVERT, Amalgam, Para 3 CTS-XHP, Kapara, Paramilitary 2 M390
Grail Paramilitary 2 M390 X 2! ACHIEVED!!

I carry my keys on a Keygrip so no knife but I do carry a SB manbug daily, usually in shirt pocket.

Personally, my most carried keychain knife is the Plain edge ladybug hawkbill! So that easily gets my number one spot. Next for me would definitely be the Dogtag. For it's wow factor when people see it, just as much as its tiny s30v blade! And I don't own one, but I can't help but think the "bug", the smallest of the spyderco bug series, would be a great keychain knife simply for its size/weight. I'd love to try out a roadie too. I'm a big fan of smaller knives :D no pun intended haha, I just like being able to carry a knife without having to second guess if its legal to carry in the city. (Boston jurisdiction = 2.5")

So for me i guess Id go with:
1. PE LBHB
2. DogTag
3. Bug

1) Another vote for the LadyBug Hawkbill.
2) Ladybug ZDP-189

That's pretty much all I ever carry on my keychain.

Raven workshop, they have some super cool stuff, their lanyard beads and Ti biners are real nice too.

  1. LadyBug H1
  2. ManBug H1
  3. Squarehead
  4. DogTag
First two for sweaty/salty times and the last two in slacks. Last two would get rust spots otherwise.

I carry the honeybee daily attached to my Ti3 flashlight. Works perfect for most of my needs and is very friendly-looking so I dont mind using it wherever. Usually I am carrying a larger EDC as well though.
