Bought A ManBug....Anyone Have It?

Vanguard41xx · Jan 6, 2012

Bought one earlier today, and wanted to know if anyone had experience with it yet? Also, if you could post a comparison between the Lady and Manbug that'd be great!

we are all secure in our masculinity and carry ladybugs on our keychains

Found these pics on the Spyderco website forum, along with a Jester in the middle for comparison. I'm on the fence about this one since I really love my Jester SE.

Thank you, that helps me out a lot. Can't wait for it get here.

Not a problem, I may eventually pick one up too but will probably just wait for the SE version since I prefer that edge type on smaller blades like this one.

Hi Vanguard,

I always carry 2 knives. My Manbug is one of them.

Well that's awesome! I bet you weren't expecting a response from Mr. Glesser. I had heard he has been carrying one. If I recall correctly it doesn't have a pocket clip. If it is anything like the Dragonfly 2 as far as blade length I'm sold! Be sure to post a picture when you get it. Vanguard41xx we seem to have very similar tastes.

Either that or you just want to copy me.

I'm not trying to copy you. I just happen to also have a Paramilitary 2, Gayle Bradley, a ZT 0550, wait...okay it does look like that heh heh.

I'm really digging the new Manbug but I will wait and see if they come out with one in H1 or ZDP. If they do I'll order two on the spot.

+1 for H1!

I just got my dad a ZDP-189 Ladybug for Christmas. I wish the equivalent Manbug would have been out by then (he still loves his Ladybug either way).

Just yesterday I was pondering if I wanted a ladybug in zdp now, or if I was going to wait until the manbug is released with zdp steel. I really really like zdp steel for a knife, especially for a thin edged EDC knife.

Wouldn't it be cool if instead of British racing green, the manbug is released in TOXIC green?! I would like that a lot.

That would be cool. I will say that my Dad is very pleased with his Ladybug - he carries tiny pocket knives (anything over a certain size and he won't carry it).

I just picked up a Manbug and this one is a keeper! I am seriously tempted to go back and buy another one, but I also want a ZDP 189 Ladybug or Dragonfly. That is the one damn thing about Spyderco I don't like, I am never happy buying just one!
