Hope so, I have one on the way. Don't know if they're really "made for an un-named government agency" or not, but am sure they're real Ladybugs.

Yeah, these are just extras from a military order. On youtube, a channel named "Cutlerylover" picked one up and is planning on doing a review in the near future.

Just ordered two, sweet!

Dang! I thought we completed my son's collection of the current ladybug! I haven't thought about it until now but his stash of spydercos cost more than mine.

I wonder what branch of the military would prefer orange over the yellow frn for the H1 ladybug

We can't tell you, they are unnamed.

You're assuming they're military, could be Forest Rangers or corrections officers. Come to think of it, they could even the sanitation workers of some large city. They didn't say it was an unnamed Federal agency. :D

I like the Ladybug and all, but it seems like an odd knife for a government contract...

Unless they cut the budget and had to cut the size of knives ordered.

i cant get the pics to open.
does it have something written on it? other than "h1"?
does it have a sku number to match and come in a box like normal spys?

Woah! Anyone notice the all-screw construction?
The price is a bit steep for me, but I really hope they are planning on switching to screw construction for all their Ladybug models.

well pp protection plan so if i dont like it i will get my money back. i hope it has a normal sku sticker box and no words written on it.

whoever gets one before me post pics and let us know THANX!

Hey Smooth,

Here's the pic from their site. The front appears to have the usual H1 logo, while this is the back.

SmoothOne25 · #14

thanx - but i meant the 2 other pics. i wanted the one on the left. the one that wont open.... to see up close what it says.

anyone know cage 5v??bu?

jabba359 · #15

Oh, I see what you mean. Won't open for me either.

The writing is CAGE 5VKB6, which is County Comm's Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code.

Found the code by typing "County Comm" into the company line of the government's search site: http://www.bpn.gov/bincs/begin_search.asp

Odds are very high it comes in a plastic bag with a paper insert with CAGE code and possibly an NSN. <- Turns out this does come in a regular Spyderco box; see post #18 below.

Here is Cutlerylover's video. Skip to 5min 30sec for the ladybug.

As Rambo noted above with his link the ladybug does come in a box with a product code of LORP3H1 "Ladybug Salt Orange" Date Code of "JJ"

that video looks like it shows a clean blade (no markings), I am so glad I ordered two. I hope the torx design bleeds over to the standard ladybugs.
