I couldn't remember if it was keil, kiel or keel, but when I looked on the web to check I saw that most merchants are using the "ee" version. A few use "ie" and even fewer use "ei." I couldn't find a reference to any of those spellings on the Dixon Ticonderoga site.
Someone posted this awhile back:
All closed well below 0.01 foot, mostly around 0.002 foot. We weren't using a turtle or pin, just kiel marks on pavement, so it wasn't intended to be a geodetic-quality run. But the Nedo, while heavy, seems okay to me.

A search for keel found many more results than kiel. So keel is more often used.
As with all things survey-related..................it depends..................

I once had a co-worker that was convinced spraying his clothing with 'Deep Woods Off' would stain his khakis...
I'm pretty sure my daily activities in the field do a lot worse things to my khakis than any bug spray is ever going to do.
Very funny story, though.

Keel can mess up a nice pair of khakis...
