I just wanted to share my thoughts on the manbug with the super blue steel. I don't think this little knife gets the credit deserved. I have used this blade as a edc for a while and this little knife I will tell you can perform like a bigger knife. I have a para2 and I will be honest I go to my manbug more than my para2 or sebenza. This is a knife you honestly can forget you have in your pocket. It can perform on any edc task thrown at it. The steel is like it says, supper. The steel is better than any steel I have used. The only downfall is that you must protect it with oil, but other than that it performs flawlessly. It is in my opinion a good choice tool for edc applications. I would like spyderco to make a all titanium version. Tell me what you guys think
 
I've just picked up the ZDP version. You're right .... it is a SUPERB carry everywhere little knife. It looks cute but cuts like a demon.
 
How does it compare to a Dragonfly? I have a Dragonfly arriving today (hopefully) but I am thinking about a Manbug as well. Probably the ZDP version.
 
I absolutely LOVE my Manbugs. I bought a SB Manbug a month or so ago when I saw they were still available but haven't used it yet because the first one I bought, a ZDP Manbug is still going strong and I don't see needing the SB for quite awhile. It never isn't in my pocket no matter what I'm carrying, it's so small you don't even know it's there until you need it. I carry my MB in ZDP in my coin pocket and a Endura 4 SE in VG10 in the big pocket below that at work and it's a great combo.

The Manbug is a great knife. There is not a lot that little knife can't do.
 
I need to try that one, I loved the SE H1 Ladybug I had for a while.

Is superblue stainless? For some reason I thought it wasn't, but I may have mixed it up with Hitachi's normal blue steel
 
Somebody just stole my car keys, manbug in superblue was attached. I also have the ladybug in same steel, just mounted it to a new key ring. I hate thieves! The knife is a super knife. cuts like my stretch, its in the superblue also. That is some great steel. I never oil mine, it does ok, the 1/4" exposed superblue just darkens. That manbug was my favorite pocketknife.
 
All this talk about the Manbug has made me put another one in my cart! Thanks a lot guys! ;)
Seriously though, I have the G10 and it is simply the best and most refined small knife made. Now I am going to have to track down a Super Blue.
 
Okay, thanks guys. I now have a SB Manbug on the way. I didn't NEED it, but I WANTED it.
 
I had to get another one because my wife took over my manbug. She used it and loved it and did not want to give back, so I now received a zdp189 version, this one out performs any steel I encountered. I wish spyderco would do the zdp189 in carbon fiber handle. I find this knife to be a good companion for my sebenza, the funny thing is the knife gets more use. This knife is a good cutting tool. I am now thinking about collecting them.
 
Got one in ZDP189 on my keychain.
Love it and it's great to use around knife sheeple :P
