They are wonderful. One is a bullet one hole, one is a wedge two hole, and last is a round two hole. My favorite is the round two hole, for versitility, and the bullet for my pocket. but I have filed down a spot allowing me to drill a hole for one bullet and the wedge. I then used the tiny tiny replacement keyring rings that are sold as replacement Swiss Army Knife rings. They were a quarter the last I looked. The bullet does very nicely on a keyring, the wedge goes nicely around my neck. I'm not a fanatic, I'm an art teacher and this works well for me. Go to the Alvin website and work your way through to the hand-held sharpener section. I have three of the styles of brass pencil sharpeners from Alvin. They are wonderful.

Will give it a try! This makes me think I should solder a tiny chain with ring to one of my Kum sharpeners and add it to my keychain. Will give it a try!
