Spyderco Manbug Black FRN Leaf Black Blade SpyderEdge: A Compact Powerhouse
Spyderco, known for its innovative and high-quality knives, once again showcases its craftsmanship in the new version of the Manbug Black FRN Leaf Black Blade SpyderEdge. Initially crafted as a more robust and masculine variant of the iconic Ladybug, the Manbug is now seen as a testament of compact strength, earning its respect in the knife industry. Originally created as a slightly broader, more masculine expression of our classic Ladybug, the Manbug is a keychain-sized back lock folding knife that cuts with authority far beyond its size. The latest version of this popular design showcases Spyderco's iconic leaf-shaped blade profile. Inspired by the shape of a bamboo leaf, the graceful curves of its full-flat-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade center its point and provide an exceptional balance of edge geometry and point utility. To cater to all user preferences, it is available in both PlainEdge and SpyderEdge configurations.
