Product Description
The Spyderco Ladybug™ 3 LBLP3 is a micro-sized cutting marvel that delivers full-sized performance. This elite version of the iconic Ladybug features a 1.94" blade crafted from CPM® SPY27®, a proprietary stainless steel developed exclusively for Spyderco by Crucible® Industries. Enhanced with cobalt, vanadium, and niobium, SPY27 offers a superior balance of edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance—making it the highest-performing steel ever offered in the Ladybug lineup.
The handle is injection-molded from Cobalt Blue FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), the signature colorway for Spyderco's SPY27 series. Despite weighing only 0.6 ounces, the Ladybug 3 is built for real work, featuring a full-flat-ground blade for surgical slicing and a rock-solid back lock mechanism for secure use. With its integrated lanyard hole for easy keychain attachment and Bi-Directional Texturing™ for an unshakeable grip, the Ladybug SPY27 is the definitive "small but mighty" EDC companion.
