Rescue Bug for Bikers?

[endgame]

I new tje lady bug rescue would work out congrats on the find.I heard a wile baclk sal lost money on that run but so much of the time spyderco is way ahead of its time so a not popular run can remerge into a winner.I no lockingk nives are a no no in England but if they see the size and what you are using it for I think they will look the otherway.here in nj if I have a use for the knife like work or hunting or fishing its legal.

It's often seems the way that the world needs time to catch up with its innovators!

I know the various full size Assist and Rescue options would be functionally better, but I know I just won't carry them absolutely every time on the bike. Might get one for the car, though ....

I think the Ladybug4 is a huge improvement over the II/III. Large hole and decent ergonomics; I can actually one-hand them quite easily.

Glad you found an old Ladybug II Rescue. For me I would prob get a hawkbill Salt and just blunt the tip.

Sorry, brain fart. I was thinking Delica/Endura4.

Yea there are only three Ladybug's. The II was only in the Rescue blade.

But for real I bet the ladybug 4 will be awesome when it comes out... G10?

I thought about that a bit more and concluded a) that a blunt tip Hawkbill would only ever be a strap cutter, and be much less useful for anything else, b) I could/would have wrecked a $70 (UK prices) knife, and c) Sal's purpose made design will be most fit for purpose and one was surprisingly, actually still available for me to buy!

You dont want to have to gring a tip off.it is not easy to do with pinned construction unless you have the propper tools.

[Fresh Eddie Fresh]

I hate to say this but I think a set of trauma shears would be the best tool. That way you could focus on a bigger knife for other cutting tasks at the scene. An Assist and shear combo would be neat in a belt pouch or a pocket sheath.

I agree that shears and/or a shroud cutting hook seem like they would be much safer.

Wouldn't a seatbelt cutter be more appropriate?

Great idea!

[Doc Dan]

Pingo or Roadie?

A friend is selling me a toxic green USN Ladybug with the serrated hawkbill blade. Other than the hard to find sheepsfoot LB2 I think this would be almost perfect if you rounded the tip just a little bit so it wasn't pointy but still had a nice hook to it.

The seatbelt cutters I've seen tend to be quite bulky - a chin strap on a full face motorcycle helmet can be awkward to get at.

Touring, I always carry a SAK Outrider in with all the kit anyway (mainly for the bottle opener, obviously) but weekend riding is just keys/wallet/phone and go.

The Ladybug Rescue is absolutely ideal, a real no-brainier - although I hope never to have to use it as intended. It's such a good idea I'm a little surprised it didn't sell better and stay in the line-up.

[ChrisinHove]

Yay. My LB2 arrived. Absolutely perfect for what I want it for. Got spotted by customs, but hey...

I've never seen that type box before.

Many thanks to American Edge.

Shown next to the MB zdp and the mighty Squeak!

I was also going to suggest trying to find one of the HB Ladybugs. Glad you were able to fine one!

What would be the preference ratio for plain vs serrated?

Plain or serrated as long as it's FFG

I'd buy one of each if it came FFG.

I'd buy one of each if it came in FFG and one in every color it came in. I am getting excited just thinking about it lol. :D
