Spyderco Honeybee™ Stainless Folding Knife | C137P | 3Cr13 Steel | Stainless Handle | Keychain & Gift Instrument

The Experience

The Spyderco Honeybee Stainless is a keychain-sized slipjoint folding knife with a smooth, flat stainless steel handle that is as receptive to personalization as it is to everyday field carry. The 1.6-inch 3Cr13 stainless blade handles cordage, packaging, and light field tasks with quiet competence — and the handle's clean, uninterrupted surface makes it one of the most engraving-friendly instruments in the Spyderco lineup. A monogram, a date, a nature motif — the Honeybee Stainless is the field knife that becomes a keepsake. The Trademark Round Hole opens one-handed without a nail nick. The slipjoint keeps it universally legal and accessible. The lanyard hole threads onto a keychain, necklace chain, or pack attachment without additional hardware. At 0.6 ounces and 2.06 inches closed it disappears completely — until it's needed. This is the Honeybee for the gift-giver who understands that the best presents are the ones people actually use every single day.

Scientific Engineering

• 3Cr13 Stainless Steel Blade: The 1.6-inch blade is flat ground from 3Cr13 stainless steel — a chromium stainless alloy that provides adequate corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening for everyday keychain carry and light field tasks.
• Slipjoint Mechanism — Non-Locking: The Honeybee Stainless uses a traditional slipjoint mechanism — holding the blade open through spring tension rather than a mechanical lock. Legal in virtually every jurisdiction that permits folding knives and completely accessible to users of all experience levels.
• Trademark Round Hole™ One-Handed Opening: Spyderco's signature round hole allows smooth, reliable one-handed deployment without a traditional nail nick — a meaningful usability improvement on a knife this compact.
• Stainless Steel Handle — Engraving Ready: The smooth, flat stainless steel handle scales provide an ideal surface for laser engraving, hand engraving, or other personalization — making the Honeybee Stainless one of the most gift-appropriate instruments in the Spyderco insect lineup. The handle's consistent flat surface accepts custom work cleanly.
• Keychain/Lanyard Configuration: An integrated lanyard hole at the handle end accommodates keychain attachment, necklace chain wear, or pack lanyard — multiple carry configurations without additional hardware.
• Clipless Design: The Honeybee's clipless profile keeps it minimal and snag-free — riding flat in a watch pocket or on a keychain without the bulk of a conventional clip knife.
