Spyderco Honeybee Non-Locking Knife with 1.60" 3CR Steel Blade and Durable Stainless Steel Handle - PlainEdge - C137P

My main goal of this purchase was to find something I could put on my keychain that was small and unobtrusive, while still being functional and exceptionally sharp. After this Spyderco Honeybee arrived all of these boxes were checked. The Honeybee folded is literally the same length as a house key and the width is that of about one and a half keys pressed together. Lets just say it has enough thickness to get a decent grip on it. Where the functionality comes into play is Spyderco's signature Round Hole that they fashion into virtually all of their knives. In my experience with buying an array of folding knives in general, most folding knives of this size or that wield a similar blade length (<2 inches.. ex. SAK Classic SD, Leatherman Style CS/PS ) use traditional nail nicks in order to get the blade out. With the Round Hole, you're able to squeeze the back-side of the blade with the soles of your thumb and index finger, and pull the blade out. It almost makes you respect the blade of your folding knife more.. and rightfully so. The blade sharpness on this thing is razor sharp and is NTBFW as it was able to sharp my arm hairs with ease. Damn thing might as well be a surgical scalpel.In summary, if you're looking for a folding knife to attach to your keys that is unobtrusive (both aesthetically and physically), functional (no traditional nail nick), and exceptionally sharp (use with extreme caution), then this is the knife for you. The best part about this purchase is that it was <$20 and is made with the same quality standards as the rest of the Spyderco lineup.

Had it on my keychain for months now and it shows zero signs of wear. It is a tiny knife and it doesn’t lock so one should exercise caution when using it.I’ve tried numerous little keychain knives and this is the best one I’ve ever hadIt’s also super sharp

Wanted a keychain knife but not something cheaply made. They seem to have kept the same solid build quality as their larger knives. It's barely noticeable in weight or size. I haven't used or seen their smaller version (the bug) but the honeybee has enough room to get two fingers and your thumb on there... plenty of purchase and perfect size for cutting paracord, opening boxes, and other small tasks. Not worried at all about it accidentally opening or closing... positive stops on both without being awkward to open or close. Great, sharp little knife and I appreciate the stainless steel aesthetic.

The box that this knife comes in is comically small. I mean, it's just ridiculous how small the box was.You may be saying to yourself, "Self, I can read and already know that this knife is small from the product description." I'm here to tell you that you may intellectually know how small this knife is, but you definitely don't have any idea about how small it will look and feel when you get it. My first thought when opening the box was "This is it?"And then I opened it. The knife opens smoothly and is sharp as a razor. Though tiny, I have no doubt that this knife could be used for everyday carry, assuming you don't need to do much but open boxes. It's really a fantastic LITTLE knife, with excellent build quality.One suggestion: Don't wear this on your keychain. While it's smaller than a key, it's light enough that the keys will jostle it around while you try to cut and sharp enough to slice up your hands when it does.

Good backlock compared to vic. classic that almost snapped closed on my fingers when cutting some rubber of from my break pads on the bike.It weighs about the same as the Vic. classic alox, has no scissors, file or screwdriver, but a knife that feels like a knife! Your finger actually helps to keep the blade open, it gives you great control over the blade.I would have preferred aluminum scales though, this still feels heavy since it's so dense.I considered the bug as well but chose this since it is really a knife. In the end I'll probably miss my scissors to much to replace the classic on my keychain, but this is nontheless a great little knife. I prefer the blade to my full-length swiss army knife for opening boxes and bags.The tip is very pointy and good.It was not really sharp, but that was easily fixed.By putting a small split-ring in it it's easily attached to your keychain etc.

I find it essential to have some sort of knife on me at all times. I recently had my keychain Buck knife taken away when I forgot to take it off before going to a car show (I have never thought of removing my knife except before plane rides). I had that Buck knife for 4 years and it was a great little knife, however, I decided i would give this Spyderco a try since it is actually smaller and less conspicuous when closed.I really like this knife. Good quality, nice feed, and looks nice too. It does not have a locking mechanism which I thought I would miss but I haven't even thought about it until writing this review.Overall this is a nice small knife for a keychain (can't see much use for it elsewhere) and reasonably priced.

My wife is pleased with this new knife, it's perfect for her key ring. I wanted one that would but sturdy and not cheaply made. I know this seller has a solid build and has great quality.
