Is Kydex still a thing? I picture a sleeve that is attached to the fob like a mini knife sheath.

It is my opinion that kydex would be far too bulky and would more than double the width of the tool itself.
As the P-38 weighs nothing 0.028 Kydex V could work without being to bulky.

Did not know it came that thin!
Consider the County Comm (titanium of course) Keychain prypars. Too often people pry with knives...Fenix ti light, glow fob, keys...
wrap that P38 with a bit of electrical tape. Mine would come open and poke holes in the pocket. AA
Most common is 0.06 or 0.08 for holsters, the knife guys came a bit later and used the same stuff. For other applications you get thinner sheets.

I've never seen or heard of it being used outside of the holster/sheath arena. My horizons are narrow I guess.
Form the Kydex Wiki article. I only knew about two other uses but there are so much more…

Very interesting....now I have to look up SCA Heavy Combat

I just close the "claw" on the P-38 (or P-51) and slip a small Ranger band over it. A wide rubber band would work if just attached to your keys, but it might drag other items out of your pocket.
I have to find a solution to this. Be back later...
Solved: 1/2" diameter tubing (from an exercise band, air hose, medical tubing, etc.) cut to 7/8" long. Slip it over the closed "claw" and forget about it.
A few 'pocket tests' went just fine. Then I swung mine around in the air just to play, and the tube didn't budge.
Also, a safety pin slid through the hinge will keep it shut. And you gain a safety pin to EDC. Thanks SERE school!

BMW and a Brewzer?
I like.
Good on yall who can keep up with any of this crap
I used to love Keychain accessories, namely small knives, multitools, flashlights, drivers, you know the deal
After years of frustration and probably thousands of dollars lost in buying, losing and replacing these things, I've decided I'm barely even competent enough to keep just keys on a keychain

Reminds me of some of the Gas Station restroom keys out there.

I just bought the A.G. Russell Thumbnail and outdoor edge but I’m with you @OldSchoolYoungin i recognize that I’m not macho enough 
for all these keychain tools. I really have no use for them but that doesn’t stop me from getting some. At least I try to keep it to affordable ones. I have leather man and Swiss Army knives in the cars and flashlights but I never use them to the point where on the odd chance I need it I don’t even remember I’ve got it.

All of my vehicles have well outfitted toolboxes.

place a small piece of electrical tape over the cutter part, where you have to remove to use it
Supposedly, too much weight on the keyring puts wear on the lock tumbler column, or something.
A light is a requirement, IMO.
Got this little guy, but it's on a lanyard.
