The 3.47-inch blade is ground from \u003cstrong\u003eCTS-BD1N stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Carpenter Technology's nitrogen-enriched high-performance alloy that achieves a blade hardness of 60-63 HRC while maintaining the corrosion resistance that field use in wet, humid, and variable conditions demands — then finished in \u003cstrong\u003eBlack Diamond-Like Carbon coating\u003c\/strong\u003e that simultaneously provides a non-reflective matte finish, enhanced wear resistance, and a measurable reduction in surface friction during the cut.

The Gooney's defining feature is its blade geometry — a deliberate, unconventional fusion of \u003cstrong\u003esheepsfoot, hawkbill, and Reverse \"S\"\u003c\/strong\u003e profiles that produces a cutting edge unlike anything else in the production folding knife market. The sheepsfoot element provides a strong, controlled tip for precision push cuts. The hawkbill curvature generates pulling power and slicing leverage on fibrous and resistant materials. The Reverse \"S\" integration smooths the transition between these geometries into a single, continuous edge that delivers the combined capability of all three profiles in every cutting stroke. This is not a novelty design — it is the result of deliberate engineering by a knifemaker who has spent decades studying how blades actually interact with material in the field.

At 5.54 inches open and 3.22 inches closed, the Dragonfly Stainless Tattoo disappears into a shirt pocket, clips cleanly to a waistband, doubles as a money clip, and delivers a four-finger grip with cutting authority that consistently surprises everyone who picks one up for the first time. The blade is VG-10 — the same premium Japanese stainless steel found in professional kitchen knives worldwide — full flat ground to a thin, precise edge that slices with a confidence completely disproportionate to its 2.31-inch length. The handle is stainless steel throughout, giving the Tattoo a solid, weighty presence in the hand that FRN handles simply don't produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBut the Tattoo is something beyond a standard Dragonfly.

The Cobalt Blue handle is the visual signature of Spyderco's elite SPY27 family — and it means the blade inside is CPM SPY27, a proprietary powder metallurgy steel developed exclusively by Spyderco in close cooperation with Crucible Industries. Starting with the proven chemistry of VG-10 — already one of the most respected blade steels in the world — CPM SPY27 supercharges it with increased volumes of carbon, molybdenum, and vanadium, adds niobium and nitrogen, and subjects the entire alloy to Crucible's Particle Metallurgy process. The result is an exceptionally homogenous microstructure that gets \"sticky sharp,\" holds that edge longer, and resists corrosion at a level that standard VG-10 simply cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAll of this lives inside a 5.58-inch folding knife that weighs 1.3 ounces.

The result is the Manbug — a keychain-sized folding knife that fits on a carabiner, rides in a watch pocket, and cuts with an authority that consistently surprises everyone who picks one up for the first time. This particular Manbug raises the standard further. The Cobalt Blue FRN handle is the visual signature of Spyderco's elite SPY27 family — and it means the blade inside is CPM SPY27, Spyderco's proprietary powder metallurgy steel developed exclusively with Crucible Industries. Starting with the proven chemistry of VG-10, CPM SPY27 supercharges it with increased volumes of carbon, molybdenum, and vanadium, adds niobium and nitrogen, and subjects the entire alloy to Crucible's Particle Metallurgy process — producing an exceptionally homogenous microstructure that gets \"sticky sharp,\" holds that edge longer, and resists corrosion at a level standard VG-10 cannot match. All of it in a knife that weighs less than an ounce and fits on a keychain.

This particular Ladybug raises that standard further. The Cobalt Blue FRN handle is the visual signature of Spyderco's elite SPY27 family — and it means the blade inside is CPM SPY27, Spyderco's proprietary powder metallurgy steel developed exclusively with Crucible Industries. Starting with the proven chemistry of VG-10, CPM SPY27 supercharges it with increased volumes of carbon, molybdenum, and vanadium, adds niobium and nitrogen, and subjects the entire alloy to Crucible's Particle Metallurgy process — producing an exceptional microstructure that gets \"sticky sharp,\" holds that edge longer, and resists corrosion at a level standard VG-10 cannot match. All of it in a knife that weighs 0.6 ounces and fits on a keychain.

At 2.94 inches open and 1.63 inches closed, the Bug fits on a keychain, disappears into a coin pocket, and cuts with an authority that genuinely surprises everyone who picks one up for the first time. The G-10 Bug takes the proven Bug platform and upgrades it with a G-10 fiberglass composite handle and 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel blade — a meaningful step up from the original Bug's entry-level steel that brings genuine edge retention and corrosion resistance to the world's smallest Spyderco folder. No lock — the slipjoint mechanism keeps it completely clean, completely legal everywhere a folding knife is permitted, and completely in keeping with the Bug's identity as a keychain instrument rather than a dedicated cutting tool. The Trademark Round Hole opens it one-handed without a nail nick. The full flat ground blade slices with precision far beyond what 1.27 inches of blade length suggests is possible. Available in Red, Blue, and Black G-10 — three expressions of the same exceptional instrument, each carrying the full Bug G-10 specification without modification. This is the Bug for the naturalist, the estate steward, and the field professional who understands that the best knife is the one that's always there — and nothing is more always-there than a Bug on a keychain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eScientific Engineering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12C27 Sandvik Steel — Genuine Field Grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e The G-10 Bug's blade is crafted from 12C27 — a Swedish stainless steel manufactured by Sandvik and widely regarded as one of the best blade steels available at its price point.
