My wife carries hers on her keyring. To open it you just grab the hole and let the weight of the keys do the rest. Fastest opening knife in our household <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

I found it difficult to open the first time, but found a nice trick...
1> grab it like you would to open any other spydie.
2> pinch the end between your pinkie and ring finger.
3> lift with the thumb.

it works as long as your hands aren't too cold to bend at the knuckles. Only had that happen once at work. I carry mine loose in my pocket. for school, work, home...

We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

I had fun today... sliced into my finger at work yesterday with my cricket(not even 1 week with it) and my right hand is sore... used my left to open my ladybug, and my way worked for my left hand too. I can't even print with my left hand.
Took my 2 trys to open with my left hand, but it does work.
It's my only spydie that I can open left-handed...

Hola patogordo, I also find Clay's method really easy to use to open the ladybug. I have one attached to my keys as well.
