The Spyderco HoneyBee (brand part no. C137P) is a step up in size from the tiny Bug, still small enough to ride on a keychain but with a bit more blade to work with. Made by Spyderco, the 1.63-inch blade is machined from 3Cr13MoV stainless steel in a PlainEdge profile, with all-stainless-steel construction throughout. Like the Bug, it has no locking mechanism, held open instead by a stiff, notched pivot in the slip-joint tradition.
