Hidden Pocket Knives

German Made Key & Japanese Steel Rule Hide Knife Inside

This German-made key knife is just a little larger than an ordinary key. It can be carried on a keychain and looks like a key, but it hides a tiny knife blade. The key knife can be purchased singularly for about $25 and in packages of 3 for about $60.

Seller Garrett Wade also offers a knife-hiding folding precision rule. The exclusive design is manufactured in Japan and sells for about $30.

Many people like to have a pen knife on hand for life’s little emergencies. These unique designs are one way to keep a small knife close at hand.
