It's a "first generation" Ladybug.

I really like the blade shape on the original ladybugs. Very pointy. :D

The shape of the old ones is cool, like I said in the first post it looks like a mini Delica!

It's a mini Endura. The first Ladybug was a shrunk down Endura that was suggested by Sumio Sakai. It was originally a test. I redesigned the model later to be more ergonomic.

I agree. I own no ladybugs but I'd buy one of these in FFG with an updated bidirectional FRN handle and wire clip.

Ladybug rides on my keys everyday. It's really a remarkable little knife.

I have to say, the Ladybug has to be the most surprisingly useful knive I've ever had. Little Big Knife isn't just some marketing spiel. If you have a Ladybug on you, 99% of your cutting tasks are covered.
Bring back the Jester. The SE Jester is by far my favorite one of the MLJ knives.
