Many of the Swiss Army knives from Victorinox include a small key ring. It is about 12mm wide (1/2 inch) on larger knives, and 8mm wide (3/8 inch) on the smaller knives.
Early, vintage Swiss Army knives never included a key ring, but this feature seems to have been introduced
in the 1970's or 80's. A few models had different names for versions with and without a key ring
(for example, the Spartan with key ring and the Standard without). Knives distributed with company names
or logos are sometimes produced without the key ring.
Uses: You can use the key ring to attach your pocket knife
to a couple of keys, to a larger key ring, or to just about anything else.
