Non-locking folding knives aren�t a new concept. They�ve been around for
centuries without much change but continue selling among a sea of modern
locking knives. The reason? While many knife buyers appreciate the
traditional aspects of a non-locker, more want this type of knife
because they live or work where laws prohibit carrying and using a
locking pocketknife.
Spyderco perceived a gap between traditional slipjoints and modern
locking folders and created a product line called SLIPITS. SLIPITS offer
reliable and sophisticated non-locking folders that open with one hand,
have a finger choil for comfort and safety and are conveniently
accessible.
As the overall SLIPIT line expands, a subcategory of micro-sized SLIPITS
with stainless steel handles is populating within and Spyderco calls
them Bugs. The first Bug was matter-of-factly named, The Bug. Its
non-locking blade is just barely over an inch long. Next up, a two-inch
blade called the HoneyBee followed by the release of a larger one yet,
The GrassHopper. Affable Bugs draw comments like �how cute� - a
beneficial perception in a knife-cautious world but their size trumps
the reality that they�re serious business when it comes to cutting.
The GrassHopper�s size is closest to that of a true penknife with its
blade over two-inches. Its PlainEdge Cr13 stainless steel blade stays
open when you�re cutting, held by resistant pressure at the knife�s
pivot area. GrassHopper handles are chamfered with no squared-off edges
to dig or bite into a gripping hand. The handle is also stainless steel
with a laser engraved Spyderco bug and enough blank area for a small
amount of engraving or customization as jewelry or a gift item. Handle
lanyard-hole welcomes a chain for wear around a neck or a keychain.
