Ladybugs have been on Spyderco's best-selling list for years. They are clip-less, designed for carrying on a keychain or lanyard threaded through a hole at the handle's end. ZDP-189 is Japanese-manufactured stainless blade steel that has recently gained acclaim in the knife industry as one of the hardest, highest-performing blade steels available today.
Using powdered metallurgy technology, 3% of ZDP-189's structure is pure carbon, making the steel harder and enhancing edge retention capacity. ZDP-189 is categorized as high-performance blade steel, which Spyderco offers as an option on several best-selling lightweight everyday-carry folders, including the Ladybug3.
The handle is British Racing Green FRN (fibreglass reinforced nylon), moulded with Bi-Directional Texturing™ for slip-resistance while cutting. The PlainEdge blade is flat-ground from the spine to the cutting edge, offering abundant cutting power in a small folder.
