Knives with Many Uses
I carry a small “LadyBug” knife by Spyderco on my key-chain. My husband got it for me for protection but I’ve learned that there are many more uses for it.
Here’s a few uses for this little folding knife:
1. Cutting gum out of your daughters hair at the store (no scissors available)
2. Prying up a staple (OK, maybe not the best use but it beats breaking a nail!)
3. Scraping gum off the car seat (I should not let my kids have any more gum!)
4. Cutting shoelaces
5. Slicing through tie wraps
6. Slicing open packaging (do this very carefully!)
Remember, a sharp knife works better than a dull one…so be sure to sharpen this little thing.
Let me know what you use your “keychain” folding knife for….
The Spyderco Clip
The original Spyderco CLIPIT was introduced in 1981. Spyderco was the first company to use the clothing clip as part of their knife design. The clip is located on one side of the knife handle and allows you to securely attach the knife to a pocket or other convenient location for easy access. CLIPITS are designed to be carried with the knife on the inside of the pocket and the clip on the outside. In this position the knife is secure and protected and can be easily removed when needed. The knife sits flat along the inside of the pocket for comfortable carry regardless of size.
Clip placement also determines whether the tip of the knife blade points up for tip up carry or down for tip down carry . Carry configuration depends on the overall knife design. Each carry configuration requires a different accessing technique, though both work equally well. The clothing clip is now a popular folding knife feature industry-wide. Spyderco alone makes a wide variety of clip styles for many of their knives.
