Perfect Size

Great pocket knife, my daughter gave me one many years ago and have carried this knife ever since. This is a replacement knife for the one I lost. I have several other Spyderco knifes and they all are great!

Great Little Blade

I keep this knife on my key ring, it's small enough not to get in the way but big enough to be useful for light work. The knife came very sharp and will push-cut newsprint. For the money, I am very pleased with this knife and knifecenter.com provided quick delivery.

Great small knife

I own approximately 50 spyderco knives and have been carrying them since the 1980's. They are an incredible product. I have been carrying a manbug on my keyring as a backup for some time. Decided to try the ladybug and I'm very happy. Incredibly sharp with great ergonomics so that it fits my large hands very well. Can carry on a keyring or in the small pocket of Levi jeans. Will not scare non knife people but can perform any task

This is the knife that's always in my pocket

This is the knife that's always in my pocket! Handiest damn knife I think I've ever had. Good steel holds edge very well. Doesn't scare people when they see it, not that I worry about that much!

Small, but VERY nice!

Though not an everyday user, my LadyBug 3 (the recently-discontinued all-stainless model), arrived today. What can I say, besides it's a Spyderco? It's extremely well made, very sharp (it skives paper easily. It opens and closes smoothly, and the blade locks open very tightly. This will have a home in my multi-compartment hydration pack-plus, to be used mostly for road bicycle riding (this kit also contains a compact multi-tool). Though designed as to be opened one-handed, do so with caution, as the small size places one's finger very close to the sharp edge. In spite of this, the knife is a little gem, and deserves five stars. Also, terrific sale price, and great service from Knife Center.

Solid knife for keychain

I usually have a small Swiss Army Knife on my keychain, but I like having something I can open with gloves on in the winter. The Ladybug is perfect; lightweight, solid, and sharp. The spydie hole takes two hands to operate with anything but the thinnest gloves, but it's a huge improvement over a nail nick.

Not A Chump Anymore!

I used to be a chump. But not anymore! I bought this knife. I've carried many, many knives in my years, but now I realize those were just "flings." Since I've had the Ladybug I've winnowed out the others and this is the one I carry every day ('cept at the airport--stupid rules). I've held the "Manbug," and it doesn't compare--not as agile or elegant, and the Lady is just as useful, so just get over yourself. I originally felt the price was too much for a keychain knife, and considered one of the Chinese models, but after having it I realized it's one of those things --you get what you pay for. Might as well pony up.

Great knife

This knife is super sharp and very study despite it's size. It is useful for places where a larger blade may be impractical or illegal. If you are looking for a knife with lots of cutting power, this isn't it, but it has many other uses.

Perfect "Small" Size! Built like a "Big" Knife

This is the only small knife that I have ever come across that is built to the same standards used by the maker on their regular sized knives. The handle is perfectly finished, nothing cheap or rough, the blade doesn't wobble, the lock-up is tight. The steel is VG10, same as on their big knives. You will pay for what you get, in this instance - these aren't cheap - but it's guaranteed to become your favorite knife, because you can pull it out and use it in ANY company without raising eyebrows, and it WILL get the job done, from opening a box to cutting string to opening a "blister" pack to cutting food on a camping trip. Plus, you can choose from SpyderEdge and plain edge. Really sharp! I recommend getting a Photon light accessory key ring clip from their website (about a buck quarter) - it has a little carabiner style clip on one end and a standard small key ring circle on the other - and attaching it to the LadyBug. Then you can clip and unclip this tiny knife from your key chain so you are less likely to lose it. BTW Spyderco made the "hump" big enough so the hole is big enough to open one-handed on this generation of the LadyBug.

Spydreco pocket knife

I've carried and used a Spyderco knife for at least 15 years. I use it at work and home. It is small and easily opened when I need it. I have a short cord attached to it so I can get out of my pocket and flick it opened at work. I really like the plain edge blade, I'm old school , I can sharpen it and keep it sharp better than the serrated blades every other knife has today.

Best first real knife for females!

This is my first real knife. (The rest I own would classify as utility cutters.) It is tiny but packs a punch! It comes sharp out of the box and Ive used it to cut through cardboard, tape and shave wood. Guys have also agreed on the quality comparable to other bigger Spydercos. It is small, and not easy to open single-handedly, but with a lanyard and practice, it is possible!

Nice but smaller than I thought

This is a NICE knife and will replace my small Swiss Army Knife (SAK) as every day carry knife. I am really impressed by the blade, it is much more beefy than my SAK. I don't worry about it whereas I did worry about the small thin blade on the SAK. But despite reading the specs, it is smaller in the hand than I expected. I don't have arthritis (yet) but holding it tight is difficult...for me. And that is the only reason for giving it a 4 rather than a 5.

outperforms

This is a great little knife with surprisingly good blade steel. Light and small, but the blade is the ideal size for many tasks. This knife is hardly noticeable on a keyring and pairs very well with these: https://www.knifecenter.com/item/TEC09/tec-accessories-stainless-steel-python-clip The only issue that I have with this knife (- 1 star) is the plastic handle, I would have much preferred titanium, or wood.

Baby sized knife

Tiny little key-chain size knife, but with great quality, made in Japan. Open/close action is precise. I prefer USA made but will take Japan, then Taiwan, but never China.
