Advantages: Well made, good looking and perfect size for a keyring.
Disadvantages: Lock knife so not UK legal to carry in public.

...and longevity, however until the Buck Metro popped on to the market they didn't come cheap and were definitely something I had to save up for!

The Metro is in fact a combination of a short blade, a bottle opener, and can also be used to lever up the ring ...
...reflects the usual standard of Buck engineering - very sturdy for it's size with absolutely no movement of the blade in any direction when the blade is up and locked into position.
