The Spyderco Ladybug 3 Salt CLYLS3HB is the smallest corrosion-immune hawkbill line cutter in the Spyderco Salt lineup — H-1 nitrogen-alloyed steel in a 1.90-inch hawkbill profile with a full serrated edge, Yellow FRN handle, and back lock in Spyderco's most compact production folder format, delivering H-1's near-absolute saltwater corrosion immunity and hawkbill line-cutting geometry in a keychain-carry, dive-gear-clip, and PFD-pocket package at $65 — the most accessible corrosion-immune hawkbill in the lineup.

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 a 1.90-inch hawkbill that will live on a keychain, clipped to dive gear, or stored in a PFD pocket for months without maintenance, H-1's absolute corrosion immunity is the only steel specification that makes sense — a blade that cannot rust regardless of how wet, how salty, or how long without maintenance the carry environment becomes. The hawkbill blade profile maximizes the 1.90-inch blade length's line-cutting capability — the inwardly curved geometry that hooks around rope, fishing line, and cordage and slices through with a single pulling stroke, producing the fastest possible line-cutting action in the smallest possible blade format. At 1.90 inches, the Ladybug 3's hawkbill blade is smaller than any other hawkbill in the Salt lineup, but the geometry's pulling-cut efficiency means it performs as a line cutter beyond what its blade length alone suggests — a 1.90-inch hawkbill cuts monofilament, leader material, and light cordage as efficiently as a longer plain edge blade in a pull cut. The full serrated edge applied to the hawkbill profile multiplies the cutting efficiency further — serrations across the inward curve produce the most aggressive cutting action per inch of blade available in any compact Salt folder. The Yellow FRN handle is the highest-visibility color in the Salt series, located instantly in any marine or water environment, and the Ladybug 3's entire package at well under 1 oz fits on a keychain without adding perceptible weight.

• Blade: H-1 nitrogen-alloyed steel, hawkbill profile, satin finish, full serrated edge — virtually carbon-free nitrogen alloy with functional corrosion immunity in saltwater and marine environments; hawkbill inward curve hooks and slices rope and line with a single pulling stroke; full serrated edge maximizes cutting efficiency through the hawkbill geometry
• 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; Ladybug 3 is Spyderco's most compact production folder — keychain, dive gear, and PFD carry without perceptible weight
• 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 — Spyderco's smallest production folder; the Ladybug 3 Salt is the right dedicated line cutter for buyers who want H-1 hawkbill capability in the absolute minimum carry size and weight at the most accessible price in the Salt lineup

Ideal For

Divers, kayakers, sailors, and marine safety carry buyers who want a dedicated H-1 hawkbill line cutter at the absolute minimum size and weight — the CLYLS3HB at $65 is the most compact and most affordable corrosion-immune hawkbill in the Knifeworks Spyderco lineup, sized to clip to a keychain, attach to dive gear, or slip into a PFD pocket without any perceptible bulk or weight while still delivering H-1's near-absolute corrosion immunity and hawkbill's efficient pulling-cut line-cutting geometry. Buyers who carry the Dragonfly 2 Salt hawkbill C28SYL2HB and want a smaller, lighter, more affordable secondary or backup line cutter — the Ladybug 3 Salt CLYLS3HB is the same H-1 hawkbill Salt configuration at $30 less and significantly smaller, suited for keychain or gear-clip backup carry alongside a primary marine folder. Fishermen, fly anglers, and offshore carry buyers who want a dedicated tippet, monofilament, and leader line cutter in H-1 at keychain size — the Ladybug 3's 1.90-inch H-1 hawkbill handles monofilament, fluorocarbon, and light leader material with complete efficiency in a carry format that lives on a gear bag, vest, or keychain without competing for pocket space with a primary knife.

H-1 steel that cannot rust in any saltwater environment, hawkbill geometry that hooks and slices line with a single pulling stroke, full serrated edge that maximizes cutting efficiency in the most compact Salt folder format in the Spyderco lineup, Yellow FRN found instantly in any marine environment — the Spyderco Ladybug 3 Salt CLYLS3HB is the smallest corrosion-immune hawkbill line cutter at $65.
