Spyderco Ladybug 3 Lockback Purple FRN Folding Knife

Description

The Spyderco Ladybug 3 is one of the smallest knives Spyderco makes, a satin-finished 1.88-inch VG-10 blade set in a purple FRN handle with a round hole opener, closing to just 2.5 inches.

VG-10 is a respected Japanese stainless steel, prized for a balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, a meaningful upgrade over the basic steels found in most keychain-sized novelty knives. Spyderco’s signature round hole, cut directly into the blade, lets a thumb deploy the knife with fast one-handed speed even at this miniature scale. That vivid purple FRN handle gives the Ladybug 3 a distinctive, easy-to-spot look in a bag or on a keyring.

A lockback secures the blade open with a spine-mounted release, long considered one of the most trusted traditional locking mechanisms because of how much force it takes to fail. Made in Japan with precision manufacturing. The Ladybug series has remained a favorite among Spyderco collectors who want the brand’s design in miniature. Explore more Lockback Knives.
