The CRKT Micro Tool & Keychain Sharpener (brand part no. 9096) is a compact everyday-carry tool from Columbia River Knife & Tool, designed by Tom Stokes to keep a working edge and a handful of essential tools within reach of your keys at all times. Rather than a folding blade, this tool centers on a set of triangular carbide inserts that touch up a dull edge in seconds, backed up by a seatbelt cutter, a flathead screwdriver, and a bottle opener. Its glass-reinforced nylon housing and stainless liners keep the whole package light enough to disappear on a keyring until it’s needed for camping, hunting, or daily carry chores.

Key Specifications

• Overall length is 3.37 inches, small enough to carry on a keyring without adding bulk.
• The tool weighs only 0.6 ounces, so it disappears in a pocket or on a lanyard.
• The housing is molded from glass-reinforced nylon, a durable and lightweight material.
• Internal liners are 2Cr13 stainless steel, adding rigidity to the compact frame.
• Sharpening is handled by rotating triangular carbide inserts that expose a fresh edge as they wear.
• The sharpener is built for 40-degree-plus edges, not for chisel-ground or narrower-angle blades.
• A built-in hooked cutter handles webbing and seatbelt material in an emergency.
• It includes a flat-head screwdriver tip for small fasteners.
• A bottle opener is built into the frame for everyday use.
• A split ring attachment point keeps it clipped to a keychain or zipper pull.
