Tough decision since they are in a different "class". Depends on what you want it for or if you just want something new to play with. I love my full serrated Dragonfly if that means anything. I would add a short lanyard with a bead as it gives the smallest finger something to grab onto.

The Ladybug is a nice, unobtrusive blade that easily handles tasks much bigger than you'd expect from a key chain knife.

I have two of them and Megan has stolen them both since they are so good.

Based on nothing more than it's what I'd spend my money on, I vote the Ladybug.  It's been years since I held one though and I've never seen the Ambitious in the flesh.

Kirk,

With all due respect sir... you'll have to give me a little to go on!

ouff! racking my head and can only conclude that you want a very small knife! Both are so tiny.

I'd buy both; since i'd likely break 'em... :whistle:

Okay...voted for the Japanese in lieu of the Chinese steel...

Ladybug it is for me

Given I only own one Spyderco, the Ladybug Salt Hawkbill, which is an effective slicer for the tough stuff, and pretty much the best knife I've got in that size range, that's what I'd get.  Plus, Ladybugs are Japanese, not Chinese like the Ambitious.

Thank you to everyone whose voted and commented!

And we have a winner!

.....but before its revealed,let me respond to a few things :D

I'm really surprised that the Ambi didn't get more support!

Buy both: At UK prices,that's nearly £80! I think Spydies are overpriced to begin with,but nah,I just can't afford that :P

Given that I've got a Ladybug in H1, I'm struggling to convince myself I want another,and Hennies are out of stock on the Ambi,the winner is....

A Ka-Bar Dozzier Mini Hunter!
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!
