The Spyderco Ladybug 3 Salt CLYLP3 is the plain edge H-1 keychain Salt folder — H-1 nitrogen-alloyed steel in a 1.94-inch plain edge drop point blade, Yellow FRN handle, and back lock in Spyderco's most compact production folder format, delivering H-1's near-absolute saltwater corrosion immunity in the conventional sharpening format that maintains on any flat stone or rod the buyer already owns, in the absolute minimum size and weight at the same $65 price as every other Ladybug 3 Salt variant.

The H-1 blade is a nitrogen-alloyed precipitation-hardened steel that is virtually carbon-free — functionally immune to corrosion in saltwater, marine, and high-humidity environments where every other steel will eventually show surface oxidation under continuous salt exposure. In the Ladybug 3 Salt platform, H-1 delivers absolute corrosion immunity in Spyderco's smallest production folder at the lowest Salt series price point — a blade that cannot rust on a keychain, gear bag, or PFD pocket regardless of how wet or salty the carry environment becomes or how long without maintenance. The plain edge specification is the conventional sharpening choice in the Ladybug 3 Salt lineup — distinct from the SpyderEdge CLYLS3 and the hawkbill CLYLS3HB, the CLYLP3's plain edge sharpens readily on any conventional flat stone, ceramic rod, or guided sharpening system without specialized equipment or factory service. At 1.94 inches, a plain edge H-1 blade handles monofilament cutting by slicing, bait prep, light utility cutting, and the broad range of daily small tasks that a keychain folder encounters in fishing, marine, and general carry contexts. H-1's plain edge takes a clean, refined edge geometry that the steel's corrosion-immune chemistry maintains well between sessions — the plain edge CLYLP3 is the right configuration for buyers who maintain their own edges and want the simplest, most conventional maintenance experience in an H-1 Salt folder at the minimum possible carry size and price.

• Blade: H-1 nitrogen-alloyed steel, drop point profile, satin finish, plain edge — virtually carbon-free nitrogen alloy with functional corrosion immunity in saltwater and marine environments; plain edge sharpens on any conventional flat stone, rod, or guided system without specialized equipment; clean slicing geometry for monofilament, bait prep, and daily utility
• Handle: Yellow FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), textured grip, ultracompact Ladybug 3 profile — chemically inert and unaffected by saltwater, UV, and marine biological exposure; Yellow is the highest-visibility Salt series color; well under 1 oz in Spyderco's most compact production folder format
• Deployment / Lock: Back Lock via Spyderco Round Hole — back lock provides reliable blade security; Round Hole allows one-hand opening from a wide range of grip positions
• Carry: Well under 1 oz, no clip (keychain carry), ultracompact Ladybug 3 profile — the plain edge H-1 keychain Salt folder; identical carry format and weight to the SpyderEdge and hawkbill variants at the same $65 price

Ideal For

Marine, fishing, and general EDC buyers who want H-1's absolute corrosion immunity in the minimum possible carry size with the conventional plain edge sharpening ease that the SpyderEdge and hawkbill variants cannot provide — the CLYLP3 at $65 delivers H-1's near-absolute rust immunity in a plain edge that maintains on any sharpening system, in Spyderco's smallest production folder at keychain weight. Buyers choosing among the three Yellow FRN Ladybug 3 Salt variants at $65 who want conventional sharpening ease over serrated line-cutting efficiency — the CLYLP3 plain edge is the right choice for buyers who maintain their own edges on conventional abrasives and don't need the SpyderEdge's push-cutting rope speed or the hawkbill's pulling-cut line-cutting specialization. Fly anglers, freshwater and saltwater fishermen, and tackle box carry buyers who want an H-1 plain edge tippet and monofilament slicer at keychain size — the CLYLP3's plain edge takes a cleaner, finer edge than SpyderEdge on monofilament and light leader material, producing cleaner fly line knot trimming and leader cutting than serrated edges in fine fishing applications.

H-1 steel that cannot rust in any saltwater environment, a plain edge that sharpens on any conventional system and takes a finer geometry than SpyderEdge or hawkbill serrations, Yellow FRN found instantly in any marine environment at well under 1 oz in the smallest Salt folder Spyderco makes — the Spyderco Ladybug 3 Salt CLYLP3 is the plain edge H-1 keychain marine carry folder at $65.
