Forget about pretty keychains that don't do much because the Minimalist II Key Shackle encourages you to hang it off your belt loop or slip your finger inside. The tough, rolled steel body is coated with metal oil that -- while resilient -- will begin to patina over time to make the Minimalist II Key Shackle look super rustic and industrial.
Featuring a single, screwed-on bar that can hold up to five keys, the Minimalist II Key Shackle scales down what's necessary for keeping keys on-hand without all the extras. The simplistic, square design makes it easily grabbed or hung, but it's clear that the design will make the former action a tough one to ignore because the Minimalist II Key Shackle is hard to not play with.
