About this item
- Pocket-Friendly: One of Spyderco's smallest lightweight locking knives is the Manbug. Small enough to fit on a keychain, yet capable of taking on serious cutting chores.
- Choose The Best For You: Available with a choice of blade steels and handle colors all of which proudly feature our Trademark Round Hole for convenient, fingernail-free opening.
- Light and Durable: This Manbug handle is fabricated with Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon. FRN is a polymer mixed with glass fiber that is injection molded and formed into a sleek textured handle, creating a lightweight yet high-strength knife handle.
- Low Friction: This knife features a blade ground with flat bevels that extend from the spine all the way to the cutting edge. This grind reduces drag during cutting and decreases overall weight.
- Dependable: If you are looking for control and precision, look no more. This knife features our PlainEdge grind which is known for creating a smooth and exact cut.

Product Description
ManBug
RELIABLE HIGH PERFORMANCE
The ManBug is a uniquely practical folder designed by Spyderco's founder, Sal Glesser. As the founder of the company, Glesser has, through the years, carried virtually every knife Spyderco produced, as well as many prototypes and special models that never went into production. Despite the wide array of knives available to him, the one he carries most often is the Spyderco LadyBug, a small, go-anywhere clipless folder that rides in the pocket. Anyone who has ever used a LadyBug knows that it cuts with an authority far beyond its size. However, as part of Spyderco's quest for C.Q.I. (Constant Quality Improvement), Glesser decided to make it even better. And, for anyone whose male ego made it difficult for them to carry a "LadyBug," he also made life easier. The result is the ManBug, an amazingly handy cutting tool that is more at home in larger hands while still fitting inconspicuously in a pocket or even on a keychain.

I’m in awe of the blade sharpness out of the box, and though so tiny I could not get this knife to flex or bend or break the lock in anyway. And I’m a strong individual by freak genetics, I love the pattern on the glass filled handle and even with my huge hands I can open it with one hand.
It’s the size of a gentleman’s Swiss Army knife but with a much thicker and capably blade. Honestly I’m blown away buy the fit and finish even though it’s not cheap it’s built world class and can definitely do heavier tasks a bigger knife can.
Now I want to get a bigger Spyderco for heavier work and whittleing. Colour me impressed! If you want the best and toughest and most capable ‘tiny’ knife look no further. And the Japanese make one hell of a blade, I have Shen kitchen knives that are 12 years old and have never been sharpened and are as sharp as they were from day one.
I also have the 25 year old Japanese ‘silver knight’ pictured that you could still shave with. My all time leader though is my serrated a Wenger 8 inch kitchen utility knife that is 30 years old and is used everyday and is still sharp!
Let me say also that the person who said the handle flexes and looks like a 1.99 handle- well you got a fake I’m sorry. What impresses me about this knife is how tough this little buggger is, and I can’t move or bend the handle one micron under my considerable strength. It seems even stronger than bone or steel, definitely a high grade handle material in harmony with the other excellent materials.
Probably to late now, but if you can flex that handle a micron it’s not genuine.

-it uses torx adjustable screws as I would like to be able to clean and tighten the handle if needed
-slightly thicker handle & blade
-better thumb grip (jimping)
One of its cons is the price but then again it is backed by a recognized company - your call on the value here. Also, it is just a bit big/wide for a 'keychain' knife but it is doable. Attach it with an Nite Ize SBHLF-2PK-01 S-Biner, Black, 2-Pack since you can separate it from the rest of the keys for easier use as compared to a keychain ring. I would rather not have it on my keys due to bulk but it is so light that I am worried about it falling out without me noticing. It has a lanyard hole that is big enough to pass 550 cord and 1.5"-2" lanyard makes difference giving you something to pull on and improve the grip for 1 hand opening.
'Office use' safe without an intimidation factor and most people react to it with a "how cute" comment but quickly change it to "holly crap that's a mean little knife..." after they use it. If you need to make a color statement or want a different type of blade shape then Ladybug model might be a better and perhaps an additional Spyderco choice :)

EDIT NOTE 8/3/13
Still love this knife, started to carry it with a small 550 paracord lanyard, mainly updating since amazon removed the customer images feature.
image 5 and 6.

UPDATE NOTE 8/4/18
This little knife still ROCKS! After many many sliced fruits, cardboard and plastic boxes, tape, Cat5 cables, mice and keyboard cords, even used as a screwdriver when necessary. Currently have green paracrord and 2 small skulls. (image 7 and 8). Blade has taken some abuse but mostly from my lack of sharpening skill in early days. I just could not make myself send it in for sharpening and be apart from it.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 8, 2020
Die Klinge ist ab Lieferung scharf wie ein Rasiermesser, der Locking- Mechanismus ist knackig und funktioniert einwandfrei.
Womit wir auch beim einzigen Manko wären: das Messer ist trotz seiner fast schon Miniaturgröße nicht Konform mit §42a, da es einhändig feststellbar ist, und darf somit nicht ohne berechtigtes Interesse geführt werden.
Der Preis ist zwar relativ hoch (habe jetzt im Angebot ca. 57€ gezahlt), das muss jeder für sich selbst entscheiden, ob es ihm das wert ist.
倉庫作業でダンボールやヒモを切るのに使用、ポケットに入れても邪魔にならず、よく切れる。
