Hey love syderco ...im a commercial fisherman from nova scotia ....i have the serrated atlantic salt...sheeps hoof blade....i love it so much bought them as christmas gifts to my crew and Friend...they also love it ...very durable, light weight, holds it edge, does not currode in salt water😃
Whoaa those little buggers are tiny! I am getting flashbacks to playing with my micro machines as a kid, lol. I kind of want one now. I had a similar experience with Spyderco, I hated them because they are so distinctively ugly, lol, but then when I fell in love with my Honeybadger, it made me realize how much fun spidey flicking a knife was. I decided to go with a G10 Black on black G10 Para 3 as my first Spyderco. I thought it was the best combination of best looking Spyderco and most iconic. I almost had buyers remorse spending that much on it, but once I held it in my hand and opened it for the first time I was blown away! The action is so solid and so satisfying. It’s really nothing fancy, it’s just a solid tank of a knife. Ergonomically it feels amazing in the hand, it’s a pleasure to fidget with, but it also consistently gets down to business. It’s hard to pick a favorite knife, but my Para 3 might be my favorite knife of my collection. I have different favorites for occasions, but if I could only keep one, it would be my para 3. Since you don’t like heavy knives, I might recommend a lightweight para 3 if you don’t mind the plastic looking scales.
It’s crazy thou . Spyderco is that brand you don’t want until you hold it in your hand , then everything changes ! 😂 I’m really stuck on this carbon fibre dragonfly . I looked at the paramilitary 2 and the para 3 for ages but they’re just too big for me . I do love the look of them thou , it’s just not for me . I think I’m going to make a new rule . Anything over 50 grams , I’m gonna pass on . It really does have to be like I’m not carrying it otherwise I’m not down . Each to their own thou , we can’t all love the same stuff otherwise it’d be a boring world . These 2 really are special , I’m amazed I haven’t lost them yet ; most of the time I don’t even realise they’re in my pocket 😂
How good is this bloody knife . I watched a doc on spyderco and the old man who invented the company and brand talked about how important ergonomics were with spyderco knives . You really do have to hold one to see what they’re all about . Love them ! Thank you for the support bud . Always appreciated! 🙏🏼
It sure is . These 2 knives get more pocket time than any of my knives too .. they’re lightweight , they get the job done and they stay out of the way . Thanks for stopping by , it’s appreciated . 🙏🏼✌🏼
For EDC . It’s all most people need . Never have I had the manbug or ladybug in my pocket and been let down . I’m a city slicker who doesn’t need a samurai sward in his pocket 😂
I’m Australian brother so not sure what the UK laws are . Maybe do a quick google search . These knives are so small , they shouldn’t be a problem but you never know ?
I own five Spyderco's.2 delica's, Orange Zome, Brian Yellowhorse custom, Yojimbo black G10 ,Smock, Carbon fiber/ G10 laminate ( nice) Manix 2 Burple G10, I put in the Flytainium ball cage, and ceramic ball ,Magic upgrades , have an Atlantic salt ordered but way overdue, Yeh I'm hooked on Spyderco now, Great video OG, You made my decision to get the Ladybug, Not fussed by the name, I bought the smaller 36mm Luminox watch years ago, its my Favourite Watch, Made for Boys or Women, Don't give a Rats ####,
Haha . That’s awesome mate . I’m not fussed on the whole for men or women thing . If it works for you , that’s all that matters . You got a great collection there mate . Lots of knives I’ve been eying myself for a while now 😂 it’s never ending thou , is it . The minute one comes in , you’re already looking at another one . Spyderco is in my top 2 next to Benchmade . Love their history and they make fantastic knives . I think my next one’s gonna be the lil native or the para 3 . 👌🏼
Oh and I like the Manbug better than the Lady bug because it looks more proportionate with the wider scales. I am not a fan of the thinner scales on models like the delica.
I've got 3 spyderco knives. The Gayle Bradley Bowie, Paramilitary 2, and the Delica. The Delica is almost perfect to carry everyday, but these may be more of a good thing.
Yeah I was the sane but ergonomics on these knives are amazing . They really thought about how they would feel in the hand . I carry these 2 knives more than any of my other ones . They’re amazing .
A real man who's secure in his masqulinity carries the Ladybug :)After 8 years carying a Ladybug VG10 i upgraded the steel to K390.PS the Ladybug is one of the most ferocious insects in the world don't let their look confuse you.
Well said mate !! I carry mine quite often . Yellows my favourite colour so I reach for it all the time . Plus I love a knife that disappears in your pocket . 💪🏼
Yeah I love this knife too . I’m starting realise that the more budget friendly knives are the ones that I use the most . I just sold my Pena trapper because I always worried about losing it or getting it scuffed . Love my 3 little spyderco knives ! 💪🏼
I have 2 dragonfly’s and I’ve taken the clip off both . 😂 I’m not really a clip guy but each to their own . Fantastic knife thou . I did an unboxing episode of the CF elite one . Thanks for stopping by mate ! 💪🏼🔥
Hey mate . Thanks for stopping by and commenting it’s appreciated. I’m really into smaller knifes . Anything under 80 grams , I’m usually good with . The banter was just a bit too heavy for my liking . If they could shave some weight off it , I think it’d be the perfect knife . Anyway , have a good day bud , thanks for the kind words . ✌🏼💪🏼
@@OGtalks You really had me thinking! 80g for the Banter? So I've just got in from work and weighed mine, it's the CF version and 76g! Never realised it was that heavy in relative terms. Can't actually carry it here in England anyway 🤣
@@onemanhisdub1969 that’s not too bad . I was just speaking in general . It’s a rough guideline I like to use . I’m pretty sure the mini Griptilian is around that too but it’s the so perfect in every other way , I let it slide . I know I’m picky and a lot of people have pulled me up on it before, I just don’t like carrying too much crap in my pockets . It ads up quickly . Really been digging the ALPAKA zip pouch pro . They kinda keeps everything organised nicely . I throw my cards , keys and knife in there . Then all I got is my phone on top of that . Each to their own . My second favourite knife behind the mini grip is the baby banter . It’s perfect in so many ways . Damn , you guys got crazy laws over there . 😕
Ok, I just checked out some of your vids. You have a new subscriber. You don't seem too interested in steels, but if you're curious, I would suggest getting something in k390. I think they make one of the bugs in k390. I'm leaning towards the Endela, but man is it ugly...They just had a sprint run of a 20CV Kapara (designed by an Aussie I believe) but they're spendy and I think whatever I get next is going to have to be in k390. I'm really trying not to be a knife collector, and I'm not rich, so I always take my time. To change the subject for a moment, looking over your videos I noticed you're in a very saturated genre. I'm not saying this to be negative. You do a good job and I'm sure you can grow your channel. It just it occurred to me that you might be missing something right in front of your nose. You live in a place a lot of people want to visit. I bet if you took your camera out and about and talked to people and showed your viewers around, you might really have a whole new avenue to explore. You're very personable and have a good sense of humor. Maybe people would like to have you virtually show them around your part of the continent. Anyway, just a thought. - Cheers m8
Thank you so much mate . I will reply more after work . I needed this comment and you’re right I need to leave this room more . Melbourne is an amazingly beautiful city and even though we’re going into winter I will make the effort to get out a bit more . You’re a dream subscriber mate . It’s really appreciated . I’ll get back to you on the steels too .
For the stuff I use , I’m not overly worried about steel . I have way too much stuff going on in my life to worry about that stuff . I know the steel on my Benchmade’s is great (s30v) my trapper has m390 . Feist s35vn. Etc . I run a hip hop podcast which had been getting crazy momentum lately, this RU-vid channel , work full time , family etc . Sometimes you can pay attention to everything . I’m the same with knives . I buy quality over quantity . I don’t want drawers full of knives that I don’t like . If it doesn’t work , I move it on . I sold my micarta elementum last night and my orange mini bug to lighten the load , I really want to dial in my collection and if I don’t use it , it has to go . I’m not rich either mate , just blue collar hard work guy .
@@OGtalks That's cool. I definitely didn't want to come off as telling you what to do. Part of it was realizing I could have probably had a decently successful channel when I lived in Hawaii, but that was before youtube and social media got big. But them's the breaks...Yeah, it would be cool to see your Melbourne though.
@@OGtalks You sound like a very busy dude. Congrats on the podcast. What's it called? I'll check it out. I'm an old head who got into hip hop in the early 80's, but honestly, once gangsta rap took over and all but killed conscious hip hop, I lost interest. (I know, big generalization, there's always exceptions and less mainstream stuff). I always appreciated music, style, and flow, but with a few exceptions, the culture passed me by - or I guess you could say I fell out of it. To be completely honest, I love music and still look for new music of all genres to get into, but while I appreciate the effort of a lot of musicians, I've heard so much that most things sound derivative or boring - or I just don't relate. I've noticed a lot of people listen to less music as they get older or stick with the same radio station - or even stop listening to music. It's such an emotional thing, I think it almost imprints you as you grow up and that becomes the most important music to you (I know, generalizing again). Anyway, I'm running my mouth again, so I'll wrap it up - Peace
@@OGtalks Oh yeah, the steel. No worries. Just thought I'd mention it. That' s just another aspect of the knife game as you know - but I'm no Pete either. ;) I use certain knives hard and certain super steels mean less sharpening. I want one good super steel knife and then I'm probably going to be out for the most part. I probably won't be able to go cold turkey though. ;) I like things that are useful that also incorporate design, style, and craft. I guess knives clicked for me because of that. And then there's the whole meditation of hand sharpening, and kitchen knives, which is a whole other thing...Yeah, I guess I'll never be able to totally give it up. ;)
hey bro , you seem a genuine cool guy , just like me. might grab a manbug wharncliffe all black, a bit expensive but so what. spyderco are an amazing company , i have now sold all my knives , microtech, medford , pohl force and lots more because imo you do not need to spend more tham £250 per knife. obviously each to his own. looking forward to seeing more of your videos , what is your name and where are you from ? 👊👊 ian , uk.
Hey mate . Cheers for stopping by . My names Andre. I’m from Melbourne , Oz . 250 pounds is crazy money for a knife . That’s $500 Aussie . I have done it before thou . 😂 i do agree thou , you kinda find what works for you and roll with it . I’ve been carrying the baby banter for a month now . I don’t like big knives at all . You’ll see that more and more on my channel . I live in the inner city so don’t need anything too big weighing me down . 😂 Absolutely love Spyderco ! Didn’t in the beginning but they’ve really grown on me . The wgarncliffe manbug is 🔥🔥💪🏼
You won’t be keeping this on your key ring . It’ll be in your pocket because the fidget factor is crazy . Took me 2 days to master it but now I’m a pro . It’s so much fun and the ergos are insane for how small they are .
