[Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copper-sheath-dagger) shop Moon Raven Designs creates idiosyncratic pieces, like this key-shaped [pocket knife necklace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-heart-necklace). The blade-wielding piece looks ordinary at first glance, but holds a secret surprise waiting to be revealed.

They say you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Perhaps the idea of wearing a pocket knife around your chest is reflective of that advice. The key is constructed of solid brass, with a stunning vintage patina finish. Bearing sturdy weight and old-world charm, the key hangs delicately on its antique brass chain. When fully extended, the [functional blade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuttix) adds an extra 2 inches onto this badass necklace.

If you are looking for a conversation-worthy piece to add to your accessory arsenal, the Key Shaped Pocket Knife Necklace may be exactly what you're looking for.
