SP133SET: C133SET Bug Set
Spyderco
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 slipjoints and modern locking folders and created a product line called SLIPITS. SLIPITS offer reliable and sophisticated non-locking folders that open with one hand, have a finger choil for comfort and safety and are conveniently accessible. As the overall SLIPIT line expands, a subcategory of micro-sized SLIPITS 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 draw comments like "how cute" - a beneficial perception in a knife-cautious world but their size trumps the reality that they're serious business when it comes to cutting.
C133 Bug: Aerodynamically the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly but someone forgot 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 0.4oz (12g). Blade Steel is 3Cr.
C137 HoneyBee: The second folder in the micro-SLIPIT 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 it comes to cutting. Overall: 3-5/8" 92mm. Blade length: 1-5/8" 41mm. Weight: 0.56oz 15g. Blade Steel is 3Cr.
C138 Grasshopper: The GrassHopper's size is closest to that of a true penknife with its blade over two-inches. Overall it's 5-1/32" 128mm. Blade length: 2-5/16" 59mm inches. Weight: 1.4oz 39.5g. Blade Steel is 3Cr.
All of the handles are chamfered so there are no squared-off edges digging or biting into a gripping hand. The handles are stainless steel with a laser engraved Spyderco bug and enough blank area for a small amount of engraving or customization as jewelry or a gift item. Handle lanyard-hole welcomes a chain for wear around a neck or a keychain.

Pros: None
Cons: None
never be without a knife
I am an ardent believer in keeping a knife on a keychain for emergencies. I thought this little pack would be great, and it basically met my expectations. The large knife is great, the medium is useable but the small is more cute than cutlery. The knives are Chinese, and a little rough, but at the price I paid, I feel that I got more than my moneys worth.

Pros: Lock Type, Handle Material, Handle Feel, Blade Sharpness, Blade Material, Ease of Opening, Weight, Lock Ease of Use, Overall Quality
Cons: None
always at hand on key chain or zipper pull, charming and non threatening to others due to size, but razor sharp, and so effective, quick to use and fold away. Definitely a bargain. You will use it more than you might have expected. Easy to clean.
