Spyderco Forums

As well as working out on site I’m increasingly working in the office . I needed a knife that would fit into the office environment and wouldn’t scare the many sheeples there, enter the Ladybug.



Today I’m out on site and need to cut some sight lines through some fir trees for the survey instrument. Unfortunately because I had come straight from the office the only knife I have with me is the Ladybug. Getting down to work I was amazed at how capable the Ladybug was, on the smallest branches (pinkie finger size), the bug went straight through them like they weren’t there, and even the bigger branches 2 or 3 passes was all it took.

It may look as though it is only big enough to open cardboard boxes, but it makes one **** of a pruning tool.

Got ladybug on ball+chain with photon light, on keychain, gave lotsa them to friends and family members : can't go wrong with this little incy-wincy Spyder! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

have spydies will travel

i was thinking of getting it for my girl friend but i dont know how to give it to her without it seeming like "oh here u need this for protection" kinda deal. she works in thearter as well. but ya i think im gonna get it for her.

Sublime,

Buy it for her as a tool, and don't even come close to mentioning protection. If she is anything like my wife, once she's had it for a week she won't know how she ever lived without it. Do try to discourage her from using it to make peanut butter sandwiches though, it takes for ever to get the gunk out of the mechanism <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.

Don't worry that the world might end tomorrow, in Australia it's tomorrow already.

thanks guys i bought one last night. its the blue one, and she loves blue so it should be all good. thanks for the peanut butter advise hehe

Hi Sub.
If you really want to avoid the protection issue you could go with the Ladybug II with it's sheep foot blade style. Although to be honest the needle point on the original is extremly useful.

On the other hand, if you WERE trying to sneak in a self defence knife you could always attach it to a steel kobutan and try calling it a traditional Japanese love token ;-))
