I've got a leather wallet designed to hold my keys and the metalwork that holds the keys is shown on this photo:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gr9jd1hk9w...22.38.jpg?dl=0

I've had it for about 30 years and in that time I have replaced the leather part as it wore out.

The point is that the metal bit with the clips that hold the keys is designed in a way that's very strong and long-lasting with a pin going through the clips. All the ones I have found online and in shops have a very poor design where it looks to me like it'd wear out in a year or two and fall apart - like this one:

Anyone know where I can get one like mine?

To me, the main fault with the second one is the use of hooks rather
than carabiner to hold the keys.

Googling for key wallet with carabiner came up with this, unfortunately
out of stock, but the photo doesn't really show how well the carabiner
are secured:

Yes, I can see though that the point where the carabener or whatever is attached to the bar at the top is simply a shaft with a ball on pushed into the top bit so once it wears, or if the top bar gets bent, the thing will fall apart.

I did once have one like yours - and yes, it was much better. But that
other one you linked to looks awful!

Just buy a new wallet and transferr the bit you like over to the new one.

That's not the issue, I've already done that in the past. What I want is another one or to be able to replace this one if I should lose it
