Here’s a Piece of Jewelry Every Guy Will Want: ‘Man Ring’ Cuts, Opens, Saws and Combs

Feb. 4, 2013 5:35pm Liz Klimas

Although jewelry might be on a lady’s Valentine’s Day wish list, it’s likely not a No.1 seller for the relationship-celebrating holiday when it comes to men. But this titanium “man ring” might be an exception.

BooneRings Man Ring Reveals Hidden Tools Like an Unfolding Swiss Army Knife

The $385 ring by BooneRings on Etsy has the following tools hidden inside of it that unfold like a Swiss Army knife:

It has a working bottle opener, a straight blade perfect for cutting packing tape or fishing line, a serrated blade for tougher things like nylon strapping or those tough to open electronics heat sealed packages, a saw for cutting plastic and wood, and it has a comb! Although the comb is tiny, it actually does a surprisingly good job on the ‘stache or head! You would be amazed at just how handy this ring is.

BooneRings custom sizes the piece, which they note is “not to be confused with a toy.”

“It is a finely engineered and crafted piece of functional art that anyone would be proud to wear,” the description continues.

BooneRings is a Georgia-based operation run by a three-man team — Bruce Boone and artists Steven Post and Chris Shepherd — plus Boone’s wife, who according to the company’s website, handles the paperwork and other logistics.

Very cool idea. Just like the ring that carries a does of poison. Have you seen the multi tool that folds up into a “key”?

What happens in TSA when your fingers have swollen up and you cannot remove the ring…off with your finger?

  I have the swiss tech key and have forgotten to remove it from traveling a few times. It’s always made it through TSA.

It looks cool until you see the price.
None of the tools are big enough to be useful.
Who needs to saw a pencil?

Good anti-terrorist option to sneek past TSA (or pummel TSA after thy molest your daughter) when bording your plane..

Drop the price to $75 and I’m all over it.

Thanks Bush Jr.

I would rather have on of those new James Bond watches, you know, the one with the directional microwaves that can fry stuff, or better yet, equiped with a vial of liquid nitrogen, so that when you wake up with a phone and bomb vest on after some half naked lady in her twenties kidnaps you, then kisses you good bye, you have 5 minutes Mr. Bond, thanks for the memories?

As soon as the door closes, you noticed she let you keep your watch on, see, and you set the clock to three o-clock, and point it at the iphone and then it freezes the wires so you can escape, then you throw the bomb out the window into the get away car of the lady only you put your detonator in there and the car blows up?

Don’t be silly, that only happens in the movies, but I had ya going, didn’t I?

I can see some dirtbag using the blade during an arrest.
I had a guy once who slice me once with a razor blade he had between his fingers.
He spun his wrist around while I was grabbing his arm to affect the arrest (he was resiting quite a bit) and tried to slice my wrist wide open, he ended up just slicing the top of my hand.

Better hope Homeland Security is in a good mood when you forget to leave that at home when you travel! They weren’t amused when I forgot the ‘key’ on m keychain was really a multitool! Oops!

  I’m a woman that would love to have one, too. I love multi-tools. But I’ll not be paying that much.

$400 is a little pricey for what amounts to a cheaply made even less functional pocket knife.

Hmmmn? let’s see here…

bottle opener
straight blade perfect for cutting packing tape or fishing line
serrated blade for tougher things like nylon strapping or heat sealed packages
saw for cutting plastic and wood
and a comb that does a surprisingly good job on the ‘stache.

My Dad drinks beer, fishes, buys whatever crap Home Depot puts on the ‘closeout sale’ shelf, is a retired carpenter, and has a mustache…. and his birthday is in April.

That settles that. Thanks Blaze!

Great, now we will have to check our rings in our luggage when we fly. Because you know if nail clippers aren’t allowed, this won’t be either.
