Why You’ll Love the Ladybug 3 Salt
Corrosion-proof H2 steel: Built for saltwater and sweat, the stonewashed H2 blade resists rust where ordinary steels fail—perfect for fishing, paddle sports, and coastal EDC.
Cutting power in a tiny footprint: The tall blade and efficient grind deliver real slicing performance for boxes, cordage, zip-ties, and food prep on the go.
Positive grip, wet or dry: Bi-Directional Texturing™ locks your fingers in both push and pull directions, boosting control when the handle is small and conditions are slick.
Lightweight & invisible to carry: No clip needed—the keyring/lanyard hole and compact shape keep weight to an absolute minimum.
Simple, reliable lockup: The mid-spine Back Lock is ambidextrous, glove-friendly, and confidence-inspiring.
Seki-City craftsmanship: Made in Japan’s cutlery capital with the crisp fit and finish Spyderco fans expect.
