The Spyderco Ladybug 3 Lightweight (Model LPCBL3) is a compact yet formidable folding knife, designed for those who value portability without compromising on performance. Its diminutive size belies its cutting capabilities, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry, especially when space and weight are at a premium.
Blade Excellence: CPM SPY27 Steel
At the heart of the Ladybug 3 is a 1.90-inch leaf-shaped blade crafted from CPM SPY27 stainless steel, a proprietary alloy developed by Spyderco in collaboration with Crucible Industries. This American-made steel offers a balanced combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The blade's full-flat grind and satin finish enhance slicing performance and reduce friction, making it suitable for various tasks.
Ergonomic Cobalt Blue FRN Handle
The handle is constructed from cobalt blue fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), providing a lightweight yet durable grip. Its Bi-Directional Texturing™ ensures a secure hold, even in wet conditions. The handle design accommodates both right and left-handed users, and the integrated lanyard hole offers versatile carry options, including attachment to keychains or lanyards.
Reliable Lockback Mechanism
Spyderco's lockback mechanism delivers secure blade lockup and allows for easy one-handed operation. This lock design is known for its strength and reliability, enhancing user safety during use.
