I love that video Jazz. I have seen it before but it certainly gets the point across. These things cut!

Great video Jazz and I have seen it many times and still think you have sold a few Manbugs to skeptics who watched

Yeah I watched that video awhile back and it made me buy my first manbug which was my first ever Spyderco. So basically my spydie addiction is your fault Jazz! Thanks ;)

HaHaHa! :) No, he was a Chinese guy who is not used to sharp knives. All of his were as dull as a bad opera.

Nice Doc, I've always wanted the G10 manbug but just haven't been able to pull the trigger, how do you like it compared to the FRN?

I prefer it. It is my favorite. I love the look and feel. You know how some of those traditionals just feel good in your hand? The G10 Manbug is like that.

Just wondering Jazz, hows the knife in terms of blade play after such pressure?
Great review, thanks for sharing :cool:

I got to say I never had one.

I gave my wife a purple ladie bug last year or so

I don't know how I'd feel with that small of a blade on me for my main blade.

I don't think it will be enough.

I've been wrong many times before

I enjoyed the video

Have you ever seen that video of using the ARK for self defense? Do not sell the Manbug short! It is true that for some things you need a longer blade, that is why they have carvers, skinners, bread, and all sorts of knives. But the Manbug is up to most tasks people think they need a larger knife for.

Doc Dan - It was Jackknifeh with those mods. Nice G10 with your name, by the way.

Spydutch - It feels the same to me. Tough little knife.

Put a fob on one and it opens easier one handed and feels like a handle extension, but doesn't get in the way in your pocket.
- best wishes, Jazz.

Carry it in your watch pocket, or somewhere else, plus a larger one. I always have an Endura or similar in my back pocket.

You guys got me thinking about one.

I'd like to keep a plane edge spyderco in my watch pocket to back up my edc serrated knife.

I use a Leatherman tool for my plane edge needs but I can see that little spyder working maybe better. The ladie bugs all felt to small but it could have been the Handel

Hmmmmmmm
quote ing myself lol

there's a more than a few little spyders that I should really try. Hopefully my funds will change and I will. I don't see needing to edc the same stuff I do at my next job

I doubt I'll be doing that kind of work again.

I'm going to have to total rethink my care and should try get a smaller set up ready now for when I get to go back to work.

I hate change. Blahhhj
