They should make some with a razor edge.

It's pretty handy

I already ordered 12 of them.

Wow, that's really cool.

Cool but i got a big sephardi kippah, because i always loose these, and there's no way you can pull off dancing with Lubavitchers without 2 or 3.

And you should be able to pick your lock with it when you come home from shul on Shabbat so you won't have to carry a key.
Who said you can pick a lock on Shabbat?

Halacha 7
It is permitted to carry a utensil to perform tasks other than those for which it is intended to be used. What is implied? One may take a hammer to crack nuts, a hatchet to cut a dried fig, a saw to cut cheese, a rake to collect dried figs, a winnowing shovel or a pitchfork to feed a child, a spindle or a weaver's shuttle to pierce with, a sack-maker's needle to pick a lock,13 or a mill-stone to sit on.14 The same principle applies in other similar situations.
Apparently this is permitted...
