SpydercoLady Bug 3 Folding Pocket Knife with 1.9" VG-10 Steel Blade and FRN Handle - EDC Knife for Men and Women, Perfect for Hunting, Tactical, Camping, Survival, Hiking - SpyderEdge - LBKS3

The spyderco ladybug is a small lockback that's extremely light yet durable. I had one previously on a Keychain and used it daily for about 5 years, the edge was still relatively sharp and the glass filled handle was untouched. Unfortunately I got a magnet quick release attachment (big mistake) and lost it. The ladybug is one of the lightest knives I've ever used because of it's compact size and lightweight handle material.The lock is very sturdy and this knife although small excels at basic cutting needs, such as boxes, rope, plastic wrappers, etc. I have even used mine for camping and fishing and it's sturdy enough to whittle a hot dog stick :). It's not going to replace bigger blade tasks but for most it's surprisingly competent. The scales on the handle are very good and this is some of the best molding you will ever see.The steel is vg10 in the vanilla version and by my use very sturdy and nothing to scoff at. I had great edge retention and no corrosion. I do of course clean my knife and oil it occasionally. If you've got big fingers like I do it's a two handed open or an awkward one handed. Doesn't bother me because this isn't a tactical knife, it's and everyday pocket knife and a damn good one. If you don't lose it 😉 I got the green color and liked it so much I put it in my collection and ordered another black one for my Keychain. I have included some pics with a Civi baby banter and a Mecarmy EK33S for size comparison. You can see the ladybug's blade is not that much smaller than the baby banter, although the blade is thinner.I highly recommend this knife for a edc or 'pocket knife' as us old timers refer to them. It's surprisingly tough and useful for it's scant size and weight. Spyderco quality in a small package. Oh, and I forgot to mention Deadwood knives, very fast shipping!!Scoto

I purchased this Spyderco Ladybug with the hopes of having a small, lightweight, and fully functional EDC (Every Day Carry) blade. Let me tell you...it does not disappoint and gave me exactly what I wanted!Here are the specs:#1) VG-10 blade steel#2) Foliage Green FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) handles with Spyderco's Volcano Grip which offers excellent slip resistance and feel#3) Open length of: 4.375" inches or 111mm...Length closed is 2.438" inches or 62mm...Blade thickness is: 0.78" inches or 2mm...Blade length is: 1.938" or 49mm...Cutting edge is: 1.687" inches or 43mm...and the weight of this knife is a beautiful: .06 oz or 18g.....*Please Note* (These specs are taken directly from Spyderco's website itself, so they are accurate and true)#4) Adjustable Torx pivot screw for blade retention adjustments#5) Torx screw in handle for blade removal or cleaningPros:Arrived shaving sharpVG-10 steelExcellent GripExtremely lightweight (I'm carrying it in my pocket as I write this!)Conceals very wellSmooth openingplain edge knifeThe Spyderhole IS usable despite it's small sizeWonderful color: It is a foliage green that is used in the U.S. Army's camo design and it actually does "shade shift" as Spyderco proclaims...against a gray background the knife seems to shift to a gray color, but against a darker green background it appears to turn a dark earthy foliage green.Solid lockback lockupLanyard hole for paracord or any other lanyards!Addjustable Torx screws for the blade retention and removal and or cleaning applications! HUGE PLUS!!! That is one of the big reasons I bought it! It's so little and still adjustable to your liking!Cons:I personally have none for the knife, however these are something's to keep in mind that others have mentioned:#1) I have medium sized hands and if you have larger hands it may be difficult to get a good grip on to open it as it is small, but it's not impossible, it may just take some getting use to.#2) The SpyderHole is small. It IS fully functional and can be open one-handed....however with bigger or gloved hands, it may take some getting use to as well.#3) No pocket clip: This may be an issue to some, as you cannot clip it to you pants or a pocket, but I find it to be for the better. I like to slip this knife in the coin pocket in my jeans and it's not even noticeable, or when I go to the gym, it slips effortlessly into some loose shorts; It only has a lanyard hole as mentioned earlier. (***If you want a small knife such as this one WITH a pocket clip check out the Spyderco Dragonfly***)#4) It is a lockback blade, so anybody living in a restricted area or under specific regulations such as the UK may have to check with local laws. However, Spyderco makes wonderful choices for UK or restricted knife law areas residents, such as the UK Penknife or any of the "Bug" series knives.#4) Not made in the U.S.A.: This may bother some folks as some people like to buy "American only" made items. The Ladybug is made in Seki-City Japan and has fantastic quality control backing it...I mean hey, Spyderco's founder Sal Glesser carries one...it's got to be good!#5) Some have mentioned that the name "LadyBug" is an embarrassing title to carry around with you....if it is a problem then Spyderco also makes the "ManBug", however I think this statement is just silly, it's a tool and hey if it works good, what does the name have to do with anything??? But it may rise some issues with some folks.All in all I personally think Spyderco hit the nail on the head with this knife. It's small sure!, but don't let it deter you. You have to use it within it's limits. It is a small knife with big cutting power, but trying to split logs or cut thru mooring lines probably won't work to well.It's an invaluable tool I carry on me everyday and I find at least 1 use for it everyday! Pair it with a small Streamlight Microstream, a Zippo, and a small multi tool, and you have a beautiful EDC setup!Whether it be cleaning your fingernails, to cutting a pesky loose string off your clothes, or to opening a package, this little Ladybug has you covered! I fully recommend picking one up if you need a lightweight, razor sharp, go anywhere knife that won't let you down and gives you more capabilities than one could think! Put it on a lanyard, toss it in a pocket, put it on a chain and wear it, or put it on a keyring, nobody should leave home without a LadyBug on their person!I would also like to tell Amazon thank you for always getting my orders correct and on the time expected! I have been doing business with Amazon for years and I will certainly continue to do so. Excellent customer service, shipping, and prices! Keep up the good work!~Christian~I apologize for the lengthy review I just wanted to help somebody make a well informed decision before they purchase something! Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day!

Tiny, very sharp, and one of the lightest knives on the market (17g). Perfect for camping and so light and small it's easy to carry in an accessible pocket. Much easier to open and close than other folding knives I've tried (e.g. Opinel), and thankfully without that perilous "is this blade gonna cut through my fingers like a guillotine" feeling on the close.
