HANDGREY Titanium Key Ring Knox

HANDGREY KNOX  Titanium Lateral Split Key Ring in Stone-Tumbled Finish
This is my first attempt at rethinking the traditional split keyring, originally designed 100 years ago.
The KNOX has is improved aesthetically, with the outer 10-sided geometry, while maintaining the smooth circular inner curve. This will help keep the keys moving freely, without getting caught at the angles. The design of the ring, also allows a push-pull motion in opening the ring, rather than having to pry with your finger nails. _You can open this key rings, even while wearing gloves, and those with arthritis, will also find this key ring more convenient to use.
This design is not meant to replace the original key ring, simply because it could not be produced on a mass scale, but nonetheless, it serves as a proof of concept, in exploring the usefulness (the pro and cons, of status quo) and how we can improve upon the existing design, of an accessory we use everyday.

Handgrey主理人嘗試改良傳統金屬鎖匙圈(split keyring)。首先外觀方面，製作成一個10邊形，利用幾何形狀加強時代感，內圈保持圓形，令鎖匙可暢順轉動。最特別係改良開口位置，現在只需要輕輕一推，就可以將鎖匙穿入圈中，就算帶住手套或留有指甲都可以容易使用。鎖匙圈由原塊 Grade 5 Titanium製造。由於製作過程複雜，所以未能大量生產。
