If you're still relying on a carabiner to carry your keys, it might be time to cut the noise. You can try to tuck them into your pocket, but then you're stuck with an awkward pile of keys and less pocket space for the rest of your gear. QuietCarry is no stranger to silent key organization, and their latest project might be the answer to your key dilemma: the Shorty and Mini Q 2.0. These new titanium key organizers let you flip out your keys when you need them, while giving your EDC an extra edge to boot.

The Mini Q 2.0 and Shorty both have a compact build designed to keep your keys silent while adding an interchangeable locking blade to your carry. A well-placed thumb stud gives you quick and easy access to the blade, so whether you’re slicing an apple for lunch or tightening down a screw you can get the job done with one hand. You can choose between either a clip point, bottle-opener, or multi-tool blade on both models, and if you ever need to switch it up you can buy the blades separately as well.

The Mini Q 2.0 comes with a few welcome upgrades over its predecessor that make it lighter and easier to carry. It now has an AUS8 blade steel, a recessed keychain loop, and smarter clip placement all in a body that’s slimmer and sleeker than the original. The blade measures 2.3-inches while the body comes in at only 2.9-inches in length. It’s made for EDC, so you can hold 1-4 keys (can take more than eight with extension posts).

If you don’t carry as many keys, the Shorty is a minimalist option with an even smaller 2.3-inch body. You can hold 1-3 keys (up to five with extension posts) and still have a 1.75-inch blade made with AUS8 steel blade. It weighs only 1.6oz (a full ounce lighter than the Mini Q 2.0), but thanks to their Grade 5 Titanium build, both of these key organizers are durable enough for everyday tasks.

The Mini Q 2.0 and the Shorty both come in bead blasted, satin, or stone washed finishes so you can pick the flavor of titanium that suits you. If you want to back the campaign or learn more about either of these organizers, check out their Kickstarter.
