I don\u2019t sing enough praise of titanium as a material. It\u2019s the strongest metal known to humankind, but at the same time, it\u2019s also anti-corrosive, rust-resistant, and biocompatible (the body doesn\u2019t reject it when used internally for implants\/supports in surgery). It\u2019s found in abundance on the moon, it self-heals (forms an oxidized layer if scratched), and is the only element that burns in nitrogen (every other element burns in oxygen). Titanium, aside from being such a weirdly wonderful element, is also a preferred alloy in EDC\u2026 and while most makers use titanium for a handle and call it a day, the folks at KeyUnity machined it in a way to give Titanium properties of a carabiner.<\/p>\n

The KK08 carabiner from KeyUnity uses a single-piece titanium handle, which houses a 7Cr17Mov steel blade inside it. The handle is carabiner-shaped for a reason \u2013 it has this brilliantly machined detail that allows the carabiner arm to spring and bend without using a spring. Relying entirely on Titanium\u2019s own properties, the zigzag machined pattern lets the carabiner work immaculately, providing spring as well as being durable enough to never break. The rest of the handle? Well, it\u2019s cleverly designed to house the knife when not in use, sheathing the blade within its slim but incredibly cool design.<\/p>\n

At 2.56\u2033 when closed, this is your average-sized carabiner. It\u2019s compact, weighs a paltry 16 grams, and can punch well above its weight. Titanium\u2019s incredible strength-to-weight ratio means this carabiner can lift keys but even be used to do things like secure your water bottle to your backpack or even your backpack to a railing\/fence. The cleverly machined detail on the carabiner arm allows the titanium to flex just like the spring-loaded arm on a regular carabiner. Meanwhile, the KK08 also hides a nifty blade inside it, for when you need a pocket knife.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The hidden blade folds out, revealing a 1.6\u2033 cutting edge which might be on the smaller side, but it certainly gets the job done. The 7Cr17Mov steel build is brilliant on a budget, with high chromium for shine, and vanadium for strength and resilience. The drop-point profile makes it a great knife for all sorts of activities, from benign stuff like opening envelopes and packages, to more rugged activities like sharpening pencils, cutting branches, slicing through fruit\/vegetables, or even self defense if push comes to shove.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Given its small size (and its fairly budget $23 price tag), the KK08 integrates everything into a minimal footprint, using a simple pivot for the knife to fold in and out. A frame lock is built into the titanium handle, allowing the blade to click into place while open, holding its position even while you\u2019re working with tough materials like wood. KeyUnity mentions that the KK08 is the perfect hiking companion, although we see it as a brilliant EDC tool that you can carry anywhere \u2013 just not an airport or places where knives are considered taboo!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The KK08 comes in two colors \u2013 the plain titanium, as well as an anodized space grey finish. It honestly doesn\u2019t need any color or pattern \u2013 the simple design language works wonderfully for this form factor, allowing it to also integrate seamlessly into your other EDC (especially your keychain). Both variants cost $23, and KeyUnity provides a 15 day exchange window upon damage or defect, along with a 1-year free maintenance period if your carabiner experiences regular wear and tear. There\u2019s a lifetime warranty available too, although KeyUnity offers it at an added cost. Knowing their track record as well as how robust and durable titanium is, you\u2019ll probably never need it.<\/p>\n
