This incredibly compact Jonathan McNees design was featured at Spyderco's 2018 Amsterdam Meet. Based on the popular Killer B design, the McBee measures under 4-inches overall, but still offers great ergonomics and ease of use. It comes built with a modified Wharncliffe blade and a stout titanium frame lock handle. A tip-up pocket clip and lanyard hole round out the strong EDC design.
Features:
CTS-XHP blade steel offers high performance edge retention and corrosion resistance.
Titanium handle built with a Reeve Integral Lock for solid blade lock up.
Item includes a stainless steel pocket clip for right side tip-up carry.
Ive owned alot of small knives and this thing stands out above them all. Despite the size it feels and works like a large knife.
Surprisingly effective, well made, and comfortable in spite of size

I ordered this knife because I wanted an effective blade that could complete office-style tasks without being intimidatingly large and scaring off coworkers. This little blade is comfortable in a 2-finger grip even though I have large hands. I often place my pointer finger on the curve at the top of the blade when I'm opening boxes and things like that as well, so this provides a secondary grip style that also works great. I love the hollow grind, it's a good little slicer but still has thick enough stock that I never feel like I have to baby the knife. The fit and finish are incredibly well done overall. I was worried this would be too small to be effective but it does about 90% of my daily tasks just as well as my bigger knives. Sometimes I'll carry something bigger in my main pocket and just clip this little guy in my coin (5th) pocket. It's hardly noticeable because it's so small and lightweight, and it's nice to have a choice between this and something else. I would highly recommend this knife if you are in an environment where taking out a PM2 or something would scare off your fellow employees but you still need an effective and high-quality cutting tool.
Honestly, my favorite knife

What this supremely well built knife lacks in size it more than makes up for in character. Definitely not the most practical knife ever, but every time I carry it and use it, it makes me smile. Would love to pick up the full McNees custom one day.

Love this knife, i thought the Techno was small but this lil guy is tiny. Very detailed knife and performs really well opening boxes which is the majority of tasks when owning a knife. Really well made from the Taichung Taiwan plant. The action is butter smooth, no blade play, and perfectly centered.
It's a keeper

When I first received this knife and opened the box and saw how small this knife really was I thought I'd made a mistake. However, the longer I've had this little gem the more it has grown on me. The quality and attention to little details are awesome. I'm glad I made this purchase. It really is a keeper.
Another Home Run!

The build quality is what you would expect from a Taichung Spyderco (its very well put together). Opens like a dream, Easy to carry - pocket clip is thick enough to never worry about retention. Its is a little thicker than you would expect, But it basically disappears in the pocket. This is a Niche knife, its very small and for someone with large hands this would be unusable.The most comfortable way for me to hold this is with my 3rd and 4th finger with my index finger rested on the top of the blade. If you're looking for a small knife that isn't tiny (this is tiny) I would recommend to look at a Spyderco Dragonfly. If you're like me, you'll end up buying both. I was very excited to add this knife to my rotation I don't regret a thing!
Big design in a small package

As an owner of several of Jonathan's custom knives when I heard that he had done a collaboration with Spyderco I knew it was a no brainer purchase. It's a very compact folder and at first glance you might think it's useless and keychain fodder but I think it's a perfect size to drop in your pocket and never worry about having a blade on you. The design ergo's are perfect for about anything utility wise and with the top notch materials and blade steel it should last a very long time. I mean, it's a framelock for crying out loud! And it's under 4" long!!
