Musings on semantics aside, the Bug is probably so named for the first reason. At just 0.4 ounces and 2.875" long when open, it is one of the most miniature fully functional slip-joint folding knives you'll see. Its blade is made of 3Cr13 stainless steel and its handle is of satin-finished stainless. The Bug has a non-locking design, meaning when its blade is extended and in use, resistant pressure holds it open at the pivot area.

Another example of the theory in action: the Chaos Machine.
