Spyderco Ladybug 3

The Spyderco Ladybug 3 brings Spyderco’s recognizable construction into an exceptionally compact 1.9-inch format. Despite its small size, it retains a functional round thumb hole, textured FRN handle, and traditional back lock.

VG-10 and CPM SPY27 variants allow the buyer to choose the steel and color combination that best fits the collection. Its clipless profile and lanyard-compatible design keep the overall package clean and compact.

Design and Craftsmanship

• Small-scale precision: The Ladybug retains carefully shaped blade and handle geometry in a format designed to minimize bulk.
• Direct operation: The blade is opened with the thumb through Spyderco’s round hole and secured with a back lock.
• Material choices: Available VG-10 and CPM SPY27 versions provide different steel characteristics without changing the core design.
