The **Spyderco Ladybug 3 Lightweight CPM SPY27 LPCBL3 Cobalt Blue FRN** is a special edition of the Ladybug 3. This version features a blade made from CPM SPY27 steel. This is a remarkable type of steel that was specifically designed with and for Spyderco. The knife also has a distinctive cobalt blue handle that is iconic for this SPY27 series!

The Spyderco Ladybug 3 is a very compact knife that is still a fully-fledged member of the Spyderco family. Despite its size and the friendly design you shouldn't underestimate the Ladybug. The blade, locked by a backlock, is definitely meant to be used. The ridges on the spine of the blade ensure that you have a lot of control over your movements. The Ladybug is great as a keychain pocket knife. When closed it is only 6.4 cm long and weighs only 16 grams. Smaller and lighter than the average car keys, this knife is suitable for both left-handed and right-handed users. It's perfect for everyone!



The Spyderco Ladybug 3 Lightweight CPM SPY27 LPCBL3 Cobalt Blue FRN, pocket knife is a compact EDC knife in the colour blue. With its blade length of 5 cm, it's a modest pocket knife that effortlessly fits inside your pocket. You can also notice this in the weight of 20 g. You'll barely notice you're carrying it with you!



Opening the Spyderco Ladybug 3 Lightweight CPM SPY27 LPCBL3 Cobalt Blue FRN, pocket knife with one hand is very easy thanks to the thumb hole. Once opened, the sturdy back lock ensures that the blade is locked and won't accidentally close during use. The back-lock mechanism is one of the oldest yet strongest locking mechanisms. The combination of thumb hole and back lock makes this knife easy to use by both left-handed and right-handed people.



## Blade of CPM SPY27 steel
This Spyderco features a blade made of CPM SPY27 steel. This unique steel grade was developed in collaboration with Spyderco to meet their specific needs. This steel is very similar to CPM S30V and CPM S35VN, with similar sharpness retention and toughness. SPY27 will be slightly easier to sharpen, though, thanks to an addition of cobalt and slightly lower levels of carbon and vanadium.



The blade of this knife is enhanced with a 'satin finish'. This is a chic and tasteful finish that is very popular.



## Handle made of FRN

The handle of the Spyderco Ladybug 3 Lightweight CPM SPY27 LPCBL3 Cobalt Blue FRN, pocket knife is made of FRN and measures 6.5 cm in length. FRN stands for *Fibre-Reinforced Nylon*. That makes it a type of plastic made from nylon, and reinforced with glass fibres for additional strength and durability. FRN is also known as GFN.



## Designer Sal Glesser
Sal Glesser is the legendary founder of Spyderco. Together with his wife Gail, he founded this iconic knife brand. He is the inventor of the round thumb hole and many more innovations. Many of Spyderco's standard models were designed by Sal himself. Read more about [Sal Glesser here](/en/ct/sal-glesser-knife-designer.htm).



## Spyderco: great pioneer in the world of knives
Spyderco is one of the world's leading knife companies. Many innovations were made by this brand, think of the pocket clip, the thumb hole, a large range of locking mechanisms, but also steel types. It's safe to say the knife world would have looked very different indeed without Spyderco.

Spyderco was founded in 1976 by Sal and Gail Glesser. Interestingly, they didn't start out selling knives. The first product Sal and Gail sold was a soldering tool, which they sold travelling around markets. Then came a sharpening system, causing Sal to start experimenting with pocket knives. In his quest for a knife that was easier to open with one hand, he came up with the idea for a round thumb hole while experimenting. A stroke of pure genius.

Today, the next generation is at the helm of Spyderco. Eric Glesser, the son of Sal and Gail, works hard every day to further establish Spyderco as a leading knife brand.
