3 Bug Slipit Set SS Plain Edge
Non-locking folding knives aren’t a new concept. They’ve been around for centuries without much change but continue selling among a sea of modern locking knives. The reason? While many knife buyers appreciate the traditional aspects of a non-locker more want this type of knife because they live or work where laws prohibit carrying and using a locking pocketknife. Spyderco perceived a gap between traditional slip joints and modern locking folders and created a product line called SLIP JOINTS. SLIP JOINTS offer reliable and sophisticated non-locking folders that open with one hand have a finger coil forfort and safety and are conveniently accessible. As the overall SLIP JOINTS line expands a subcategory of micro-sized SLIP JOINTS with stainless steel handles is populating within and Spyderco calls them Bugs. The first Bug was matter-of-factly named The Bug. Its non-locking blade is just barely over an inch long. Next up a two-inch blade called the HoneyBee followed by the release of a larger one yet The GrassHopper. Affable Bugs drawments like “how cute” - a beneficial perception in a knife-cautious world but their size trumps the reality that they’re serious business when ites to cutting.C133 Bug: Aerodynamically the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly but someone ot to tell the bee that. It defies both nature and expectations that something that small performs such a grand maneuver. Like bumblebees Spyderco Bugs perform unexpectedly. The smallest folder in the trio Bugs are just 2-7/8” (73mm) long opened and closed measure 1-5/8” (41mm). Blade length is 1-5/16” (33mm) and they weigh only .4oz (12g). Blade Steel is 3Cr.C137 HoneyBee: The second folder in the micro-SLIPJOINT fraternity and a small step-up size-wise from the Bug. Its tiny blade reaches one-and-a-half inches long yet is all business when ites to cutting. Overall: 3-5/8” 92mm. Blade length: 1-5/8” 41mm. Weight: .56oz 15g.
