To reduce keychain clutter, I'd love to carry around a Ladybug H1 Hawkbill with toothpick and tweezers rather than an SAK MiniChamp as my keychain knife of choice. Hopefully you geniuses at Spyderco can make this happen one day soon. I would even be satisfied if you just made slots in the handle so that I could slide an SAK toothpick and tweezer in. And a slot for a pen would be a bonus!
I carry a Leatherman Style PS daily with my Spydies. No toothpick but awesome tweezers and I can't live without a tiny set of pliars on me (or a bottle opener!).
This would be really cute! I don't carry a knife on my keychain, but I would put one in each of my various kit bags (e.g., briefcase, field bag, dop kit). It should be a unique color to differentiate it from other LB variants... maybe some fluorescent color...
The normal Ladybug handle is injection molded fiber strengthened thermoplastic. to get a slot like that into the handle, there has to be a very small and long slide into the already pricey mold. I do not think it is technically possible to make those long slides work in the mould. It is perfectly possible on a knife with scales, though.
I'd love to see you guys take another shot at the multi-tool market. I'd particularly like to see something along the lines of a Leatherman Skeletool...simple, compact, with pliars/knife/screwdrivers/scissors/file.

Hi Krislacy,
We generally avoid pics of concept models and early prototypes until we're closer to delivery. While we're all friends, it's a public forum and sometimes "non friends" watch. What's that line? Imitation is the sincerest form of theft".
Also, if we show pics too soon, then people call the sales dept for information of which they haven't yet been informed.
