C133P Bug Stainless Steel Slip Joint Micro Knife

Being a Spydaco knife you're getting great workmanship. The knife easily conforms to UK carry standards, and unlike cheap box blades, this knife retains a good edge and sharpness for the time you might need to open a box or cut some string. Although it's more expensive than others, I like the sturdiness of the knife. It is a tiny thing, however, so if you have grip problems with your hands then it might not be the easiest knife for you to open. The upside is it's weight, and you can even put this into a coin purse to carry it around. As I said, it easily conforms to UK standards for knives on your person, although some places don't allow knives of any kind, this one doesn't lock, and the blade is less than 3 inches, thus making it okay for everyday carry. If you don't mind paying a bit more, then hopefully this is the little knife you can count on in an emergency.

This is my second Bug, because the first one was taken off of me by airport security, though I did make it through half a dozen flights before someone decided to take it off me, so your mileage may vary, but stow this in your checked luggage for safety. But seriously, I can't praise this little knife enough. I have it on my keychain at all times, and it comes in clutch whenever I need a blade. Great for opening packages, cutting strings and cable ties, removing bandages and tape, etc. It's phenomenally shart, the last knife held its edge for over a year of frequent use (it was my standard knife for almost everything), and is strong enough to resist a surprising amount of sideways bending. And although it isn't locking, it does click into place somewhat so it won't easily slip shut and slice your finger tip. I simply can't praise the smart design of this little knife enough.

This is a very small, sharp and convenient knife. It is now permanently attached to my keychain now. It has inadvertently been through airport security several times and not been picked up (do NOT do this on purpose!); presumably thanks to its size and shape on the keychain. Knocking one star off due to its high price.

I bought this little knife in 2021 and it's lived on my keyring ever since, coming into use whenever I've needed to open a box, cut some string or generally tackle an activity that requires a small but sharp blade. It arrived sharp, and has stayed so despite me using it on a regular basis. The resistance is good enough that you don't feel it will snap closed without warning, yet the blade remains easy enough to open and close. When closed, the knife sits comfortably on my keyring, and I really don't notice the size or weight of it, so it's a permanent feature. Or was, until a recent flight where a member of the security team noticed it, and in particular the sharpness of the blade, and promptly took it off me. I've been on multiple flights in the last few years - probably over a dozen - and it's never been flagged up before now, but this time I was subject to a rigorous bag search - and they went through everything and took this knife, and a small screwdriver, off me. As such, I can only conclude that previous passages through airports have been by luck that no one has noticed the knife (as it is rather small), and if someone happens to spot it when going through security, you'll lose it. Obviously if you 'check it' in your main luggage (if you have any) then you'll have no such problems. Will I replace this knife? Yes. It's expensive, but it's worth it. I'll just make sure to take it off my keyring before I next fly!

The Spiderco Bug Keychain Knife has astounded me with its exceptional sharpness straight out of the box and its incredible convenience as a keychain accessory. First and foremost, I was blown away by the sharpness of the blade. Despite its compact size, this little knife is razor-sharp, effortlessly tackling everyday cutting tasks with precision. Whether it's opening packages or cutting through various materials, the Bug gets the job done with ease. The sharpness is a testament to the quality craftsmanship of Spiderco. As a final note, this knife impresses on two fronts: its impressive sharpness right out of the box and its unmatched convenience as a keychain accessory.

I wanted a small knife to open all my Amazon packages but I find a normal penknife too heavy to have in a pocket all the time so tried this. Boy am I glad I did! The first great thing is that I can open it despite having feeble grip due to botched carpel tunnel op and arthritis. It is very easy to grip to open but stays very firmly closed when not trying to open it so is completely safe in a pocket. it is easily light enough to wear around the neck on a lanyard or something and is extremely well made so is an attractive object too. The next marvellous thing is that it is unbelievably sharp! I enjoyed cutting open all my parcels so much that I found myself looking around to see if there was anything else I could cut up since it is such a pleasure to use. The family looked very relieved when I finally left the room. This would be a really terrific present for anyone but perhaps particularly for husbands and Dads and brothers as not all women share my enthusiasm for practical presents. Highly recommended.

I wanted a tiny knife to go on my keyring, and nearly bought a small Swiss Army knife. However, I've always been intrigued by Spyderco knives, so I thought I would give this Bug a try. It comes in a nice little box, which is ideal for gifting, but considering this is meant to go on a key ring I was slightly disappointed that no split ring is provided. The knife itself is really small, and is perfectly suitable to go on a keyring. It's ideal for opening packaging, cutting loose threads, and other minor tasks, but too small for anything more. Quality is generally good, the blade snaps open and shut very nicely and the knife feels very sturdy in use, especially considering how tiny it is. There is one slight problem though: the spine of the knife is nice and flush with the handle when the blade is shut, but when the blade is open. the spine is slightly proud of the handle. It's a minor issue, but isn't in keeping with the general quality of the knife. In use, this knife works fine, but I have noticed that it doesn't hold its edge amazingly well. It's nice and sharp when brand new, but it didn't take much light use before that initial edge had gone. I had to resharpen the edge after the first day's use, so was slightly disappointed. Overall, this knife isn't bad. Form factor is great, but considering the price, and average edge retention, it's not great value for money. Also, please be wary of delivery from Amazon Logistics. There doesn't appear to be any way of providing feedback for them, so it needs to be mentioned here. This product is age restricted and requires delivery to be signed for, and possibly ID needs to be show. They didn't get a signature, and didn't hand it to the resident (like they claimed). Instead they just put it through the letterbox. On top of that, it wasn't even my letterbox, right number, wrong area. So, three stars for the product, zero stars for Amazon Logistics.

This little gem of a knife is very high quality ( I have other Spydercos too and can say I think they are all good build) and UK legal to carry. I have one on each of my car key rings ( and it is small enough and light enough not to be a nuisance) and I cannot tell you how many times they have been used. From opening packages, cutting rope and paracord and sorting out my cuticles! It holds a very good edge. It is easy to open this knife and the slip joint has not loosened at all, has just the right amount of firmness. If you need a tiny effective and very sharp knife for all those occasions when you think ' oh damn I need a knife for this' then this is the one!
