Spyderco Forums

Hello all,

just curious how many of you carry one. I carry a Leatherman Charge Ti and hopefully soon I'll be adding a FRN Stretch. I also today just ordered two Bugs.
Now I'm looking at the Ladybug Hawkbill. I owned a Tasman Salt and loved it but I think a smaller knife will fit in my EDC load a little easier right now.

How do you carry yours? What are you cutting with it? How does it handle?

Looks like my Bug may have a friend on the keychain.

Thanks for the help

I EDC my ladybug hawkbill. It's great I actually gave my Barong to my girlfriend and kept the ladybug :eek: :D I made a little leather necklace sheath so at work it's right there ready to go. I just cut things like cardboard, bubblewrap, letters, etc. Well worth the money

I have one in my 'small, secondary knife' rotation. It's great for opening packaging -- boxes, clamshells, etc. I really should track down another one or two as spares and gifts.

I just love my ladybug hawkbill. I keep switching it to what ever keys I am using and at night I fiddle with it all the time. Its the first keychain knife that I just can't put down. I really want to get at least one more. Another sprint run with H-1 and the yellow handle would be super sweet. Between this and my spyderhawk my poor tasman is now in storage.

This, please.

i edc it! it's an awesome little hawkbill, to be sure! seems like it has many possibilities as a tiny concealed blade for emergency SD.

this blade is a natural for H1 -- hope to see an H1 version that will be more SE alaska-appropriate! :D

I just put a small lanyard on my two, to "extend" the handle a bit and carry them in a pocket. They are very useful and good-looking little knives. My son in law liked it so much at Christmas I aquired my dealer's last one for him for his birthday. I like it very much, and it was well worth the wait.

Do you have a pic of the sheath? :cool:

I do!
I just added a lanyard, and it rides freely in my pocket. It handles VERY well, it really is a LBK=little BIG knife! I've abused mine quite much so far, since I have two more to use if this one "dies". But no, it can take on such tasks as cutting sandpaper, heavy boxes, and radiator hose, thick soundproofing mat..

OT:
I think that Spyderco should make one more Hawkbill size, that is the size of D-fly. Then we would have full deck of hawkies, from Ladybug to Spyderhawk.

AND YES! LBK Hawkbill in H1 please :D :D

My wife just threw out an old Swiss Army book bag, so I took the Ladybug Hawkbill to it to see what it could do - WOW! It sliced through all the materials with VERY little effort. It was all nylon, padding, and netting. It was only a little harder to cut through the main strap (seemed like a seatbelt to me), but still easy. Now I like the little guy even more!

One on my keychain right now. It's amazing all the things it comes in handy for. Plus, even the non-knife people I know aren't bothered by it (my H1 Spyderhawk on the other hand...).

One young lady told me it was "Wicked looking but Cute".

it would be on my key ring right now if it was stainless steel but i wasnt that lucky with all my whining, never liked the FRN key ring Spydercos, they just open too easy for something i cant see in my pocket

I haven't had that problem, but then, my keys ride outside my pants on a snap-link.

I carry mine everywhere. It cuts everything from zip-ties to snack wrappers.
