http://www.monkeyknuts.com/index.htmlMonkey Knuts™ are designed as accessible keychains and zipper grips allowing keys and the like, to be gripped more conveniently than if just connected directly to a key ring. Hand-crafted from genuine US military parachute cord - encompassing a resilient stainless steel ball bearing - Monkey Knuts™ ensures that your keys will remain secured to you at all times. Accidental loss is less likely, saves you on wear and tear of your clothing pockets, purses and backpacks, and most importantly assures your sense of security.
Originally used as the weight attached to a heaving line, Monkey Knuts™ or a "monkey fist" is so called because some would say it looks similar to a small primate’s clenched fist. This authentic sailor's knot was specifically originated to be wrapped around a heavy object, such as a cannon ball, acting as a heaving line to accurately throw a rope from ship to dock. Although this unique tool was predominantly used for a specific function, sailors frequently used this extraordinary knot as a combat weapon in the midst of battle during the 1800s.
TONS of colors and styles. Prices range from $3.95 to $7.95. I just ordered some for a few of my female friends.
Found out about them from one of the blogs I read:

In earlier posts I detailed the care and feeding of an improvised slungshot using a belt and a Masterlock, but today -- in honour of Janet Napolitino's bushwa statement about how the "system worked" -- I'd like to introduce my Gentle Readers to a most useful keychain:
MonkeyKnuts.
And look! They also come in Coyote Brown, OD Green, Desert Tan and Ye Olde Black! Tactical monkey's fists!
I do realize that some of my Gentle Readers are more than capable of tying a monkey's fist all on their ownsome, but I must confess that I am a terrible knottist. And ladies and gentlemen, if I am pounding a Nigerian terrorist like a German porno, the last thing I want is for my LawDog-tied monkey's fist to come all agley before I am quite through.
Plus, the name of that site is snarky, and sly, and pretty much describes my feelings about the TSA all in one word.
