Keychain-Sized. Big Bite. A Featherweight Folder That Cuts Like a Champ.

The Ladybug 3 Lightweight is one of Spyderco’s smallest locking folders—designed to ride on your keychain but perform like a full-sized knife. With a hollow-ground VG-10 blade and textured FRN handle, it’s built for slicing, piercing, and precision tasks in a compact, clipless format.

Whether you’re opening packages or tackling tougher cuts, this micro folder delivers. A hollow grind enhances slicing performance, a satin finish keeps the blade clean and low-glare, and the modified clip point handles piercing and detail work with ease. A back lock provides reliable lockup, and the integrated lanyard hole lets it ride on a keychain or lanyard with zero bulk.
