spyderco bug review

[heavy handed]

i recieved a spyderco bug today,this is my 1st spydie  .
and ive gotta say i am really impressed. it came in a small black box which is foamed lined and also has a silver bug logo.

the closed length of this knife is about 41mm and has a stainless body with an etched bug logo.
i paid just under £7.00 for this bug and the fit and finish is superb no blade play at all.

im gunna need to put a lanyard or keyring through the hole as you cant feel it in your pocket and it does not have a pocket clip. straight from the box it cut through paper.

this will be a great knife for cutting loose cotton on clothing ,opening food packages etc, espcially when in front of NKP.

i believe the steel is 3cr13mov, IMO this is great for a small knife that i can put in my wallet.

due to its size i cannot OHO it but im not to fussed about that ,this knife has serious quality and wow factor in abudance.

Closed length:41mm
open:73mm
blade length:34mm
edge:29mm
thickness:5mm
width(across blade and handle when closed):16mm
hole:4.5mm.

Can you spyder drop it? 

[heavy handed]

i dont really know what spyder drop is TBH .
but i just threw it down my stairs (13 steps) on to the carpet below with the blade open ( im guessing thats what a spyer drop is(sort of!!))
and its still perfect no breakages (pheww) . i think the handle hit the floor 1st as its heavier than the blade.

Yep that's it, sorry didn't make it clear.

If one got very tiny hands, the spyder drop might work... (Not me I got big thumbs) 
I really like my bug, there's a real "quality" feeling about it and the thing about the no OHO,
just makes it better... 
Great little thing...

thats ok mate ,i should of known that a collecter wasnt asking me to drop my knife . i just tried the real spydie drop lol  , and it dosent work the blade stays firm shut.
 but at least we know it can take a tumble from a big height lol .

Great review mate

There an odd little thing! I'm tempted to get one as a tactical earing

With a pirouette in public, that could be a weapon of mass destruction...

I think I'm more likely to open my own carotid artery, than do any harm to others

You might have a point...

Good review. Nice little knife. Could be handy at times.

The Bug is a little bit too small to be useful for me I think.

It's cute though - no mistake. Nice review HH!

That's pretty much my thinking as well.  Nice piece though.
