Small Spydies. Which one, and why?

Just pulled the trigger on a Dfly. Looking forward to getting it in the mail this week!
 
I've had a bunch of SAK's, but my smallest Spydercos are Leafstorm, Chaparral and Techno. I really enjoy these things. I did buy a D-fly for my wife, but I like the larger folders and normally go to the 3" Caly or Sage series.
 
I just relaced my G10 Manbug with the lighter FRN version, i find a short lanyard with a false turks head stopper knot make OHO a snap for my arthritiky fingers, i also generally carry the UKPK for the bigger tasks. Funny that where i live the little Manbug is illegal to carry in public but the much larger UKPK is OK.

I like this lil' bug. Why? Because I have never seen anyone else pull one of these out of there pocket and it is so ugly that its cute.

My vote though, has to go to the Dragonfly. It is just an awesome little knife all around.

I made a quick vid on the excellent Manbug. Just some uses it offers. Before you say it, I was careful not to slice my leg arteries. :rolleyes: And I know it's not super duper high quality. I don't care to be a fancy boy. Anyway, if you care...

Dragonfly with stainless steel for me .. wire clip just aint for me .. so that pretty much taken out most of the spyderco smaller folders for me.
 
+1 on the Chaparral. Fantastic little blade. This is going to see a lot of pocket time.

knife works still has a jester left if anyone wants a grey g10 before it disappears forever
 
I have two Ladybugs, a foliage green, and a yellow salt. The yellow one has the serrated blade.

I couldn't find it.


So many good one. Chaparral for slightly larger. In production I'd say Spydie Air, out of production Jester.

for ladybug and manbug, adding a lanyard at the end actually helps a lot in the handling of the knives. its kinda like an extended handle and works well especially for fellows with bigger palm

Big time. They go together wonderfully.
