Max Knives MKY2 — Mickey Yurco one-finger impact tool, 64 mm

Overview

Of the two impact tools Mickey Yurco designed for Max Knives, the MKY2 — named "Claw keyring" — is the shorter one: 64 mm against 123 mm for the MKY1, 5 mm thick against 10, and 12 g against 61. The ring does not change: 26 mm in diameter on both. The body is fully anodised black aluminium, and a chain with its carabiner is supplied with it.

Both pieces are presented on the Mickey Yurco x MaxKnives collaboration page.

The shape

Past the 26 mm ring the body carries on in a curve, and an attachment hole is drilled at the base.

Specifications

Fully anodised aluminium, black. Overall length 64 mm, thickness 5 mm, weight 12 g. Ring 26 mm in diameter. Attachment hole. Supplied with a chain and a carabiner.

Care

Rinse with clean water and dry; no abrasives and no polishing cream, as both attack the anodised oxide layer. Keep an eye on the carabiner and the chain links, the only moving parts.
