Re: The Manbug...Impressed
Just got that Manbug earlier this week. Almost lost it already. Gotta get it on a keychain or something.
Going back to Caly.

Haha, I guess they have assumed their positions! :p Spring is in the air.
I can't recall whom it was, but I vaguely remember a user here that has a very nice Grey G10 Jester that they ground the spine of the blade down and it looked like a mini Stretch!

Re: The Manbug...Impressed
Love the grey one! Nice work, Jazz.
I'm a sucker for the jimping on the spine of a Jester, part of the reason I like it better than ladybug, but yours look like it should/could have been a factory option as well.

Re: The Manbug...Impressed
I always have one of these two Manbugs on me. Always.
The G10 Manbug was my first Spydie and it didn't just bite me, it consumed me completely. The Caly seen here was number 2 and the deal was sealed with an intense burst of Spyder venom.

Yes, in this old thread. Sorry the pics are broken, it happened when the forum software changed over. .PWork wrote:Did you dye your G-10 Manbug?

Re: The Manbug...Impressed
I had the Ladybug, but even if the difference is small I prefer the Manbug.
So much that my black FRN is not alone anymore, Superblue came in a few days ago ! :)
I also agree for the fobs (little things at the end of the knife) on this size of knife ! So helpfull !

Same here. The small differences make a huge difference in my hand. I always liked the Ladybug. I love the Manbug...in a manly sort of way. :p
...and now I have the g-10 Manbug incoming. :spyder:

Re: The Manbug...Impressed
...and now I'm equally impressed with the G-10 version. :cool:
Hopefully we'll see more color options ( both FRN and G-10) somewhere down the road. :spyder:

Re: The Manbug...Impressed
How much heavier is the bolstered G10 version? I love the ability of the FRN to just disappear until needed. Don't want to feel like I'm carrying a roll of dimes in my pocket, although I do enjoy how the G10 Manbug looks.
Going back to Caly.
Re: The Manbug...Impressed
FRN .65oz/19g
G-10 1.5oz/43g
The G-10 is noticeably heavier in the hand but still doesn't weigh down the pocket.

Re: The Manbug...Impressed
Few things make that the G10 Manbug is actually not on my top wish list.
I don't really like the bolster ! (the thing in metal on the handle) It broke the line(s) !
It cost nearly as much as the G10 Dragonfly ... (About 100 € for both...)
The G10 Manbug weight is nearly as much as the G10 Dragonfly... (G10 Manbug : 43g / G10 Dragonfly : 56g)
