You are bidding on a brand new design key ring that has a hidden Compact Knife. This key chain has hidden knife that stores away inside the key chain until it is needed. It also has a small bolster that protects your hand as well. This item will come with instructions as to how to reveal and use the knife feature. The Key Ring measures 3” long when closed (not including the ring) and is only 5/8” in diameter. It features a quality stainless steel blade which is stored safely in the handle when not in use. This blade is shipped very sharp and should be used with care!

This particular item was made from a beautiful piece of AMBOYNA BURL. The wood used for this pen is one of the rarest in the world, AMBOYNA BURL, and is primarily grown in Borneo. A "burl" is an abnormal growth that typically grow on the outside of the tree and usually near the tree trunk. Since each "eye" of the burl could have grown into a tree branch, this causes the grain to grow in every direction at the same time. A burl typically also has bark inclusions, voids, as well as other things making it difficult to turn. A burl also does not form on most trees so they are all very rare yet contain the most desired wood and is worth all of the extra effort to turn, as you can see. I am now using the Super Glue (CA Glue) finish for all of my Key Chains. This type of finish is extremely durable and will help keep your key chain safe from water, oil and the rigors of daily use. It takes a little longer to use this finishing method, and costs a little more as well. However the finish you have on the item when completed, is very similar to an acrylic, and will last the life of the item with no problems.

I have been a woodworker for over 20 years, making everything from complete custom cabinetry, to bowls, boxes, and pens on the lathe.  However, due to health issues, I now only turn projects on the lathe in order to give myself something to do for the few hours a day I can stand. When you see pens which have same name, or look the exact same, the chances are that they obtain their kits from the same sources that I use. Since I do not need to "make a living" at this, I can offer the same product, made with great precision, and generally offer it to you for a much lower price.
