Spyderco Ladybug 3 Key Ring Knife 1.97" K390 Satin Plain Blade, Blue FRN Handles
For how small this knife is, it really cuts like a bigger knife. You can totally feel the difference with this k390 steel. You just have to experience it. This knife glides through cardboard better than some of my bigger spyderco knives. The small & thin blade has the k390 power that must be felt. Price here is justified. This will be the most powerful keychain knife you ever own
Spyderco Ladybug 3 Key Ring Knife 1.97" K390 Satin Plain Blade, Blue FRN Handles
He makes it look easy to open in the video, but it isn't.
Mine is quite stiff and to one hand open it needs to be smoother, as it is it's almost impossible to thumb open. Also the edge grind while sharp out of the box was quite uneven and one side was ground at a shallow angle making the blade liable to chip. I don't want to hand reprofile this by hand as this stuff is hard. It fits on a keychain just right and you hardly notice it, but I'm sending it back for one with a better edge grind.
