Classic Hobby Knife Keychain Kits

Small but mighty, the Classic Hobby Knife Keychain Kit delivers precision cutting power in a compact, everyday-carry design. Perfect for makers, crafters, and hobbyists, this kit features a razor-sharp #11 blade housed in a sleek, keychain-friendly body you can customize on your lathe.

Designed for both performance and simplicity, this kit turns easily with straight tubes and assembles quickly with minimal parts. The internal collet system securely holds replaceable blades, while the clever flip-to-close design eliminates the need for a separate cap—making it as practical as it is portable.
