Apparently the HAP40 Ladybug has dropped, Blade HQ and KW had them listed and sold out today.

Gonna have to get one of these. I didn't buy any of the FRN super blue except for the lady bug. Gotta keep up with tradition!

Yep, snagged one from KW's today, I think I'll only get 2 of the Ladybug and Manbug this time around though, went kinda nuts on the Dragonfly :o :D

Yeah I got 3 hap40 dragonflies I believe you snagged more than me lol :p

Wait, did I miss the Manbug?

No, you're good. It hasn't been released yet.

My HAP40 Ladybug is on its way from KW as well, along with an Orange Rock Salt.

I need more pockets (not that a Rock Salt would fit, LOL).

This will make my wife happy! She really likes the Ladybug model. It's her weekend carry :D

They are in stock at Oso Grande Knives!

:o Yea...kinda lost control on the Dragonfly's, pretty much embarrassed to even say how many I ended up with.

No, your good. I'm going to try to control my compulsive self with the Lady/Man bugs. It will be hard with the Manbug, really like the Manbug. :)

What's the point in hamstering multiple ones? To have an endless supply for own use or to make a buck when they become extinct?

I can justify two but past that I just can't do it. I have bought a pre need replacement for a few knives and have yet to need one. Some have been new in a box for years. When you have dozens of dozens of knives it is hard to wear them out. The one thing a pre need replacement does for me is it gives me the comfort to use a knife like it isn't irreplaceable. My Hap40 Delica got babied for a couple of weeks and then the pre need replacement showed up and I got right to grinding the hump off the spine and reprofiling and then right to hard use. I bought two S110V Mules when they dropped and they gave me the comfort to take one camping, fishing and hunting and to put it through some tough chores. I only have one M4 Mule and as a result the S110V mule which has a backup gets used more.

Yes, i can totally accept buying two but above that gets beyond my personal "moral" for lack of better word. I'd feel like a jerk sitting on several and at the same time reading about some poor soul who missed the boat on one.

Um, not exactly Larry, believe it or not they make great presents :eek: what a novel idea right :D

edit: I also wanted to add that having a couple extra of not just the Dfly but others has allowed me to offer up a blade here and there to forum friends at cost/trade when they missed the "boat" and had the gesture returned a couple times.

Sorry for being jaded.. I have experienced (too) much monkey business in the musical instrument scene i guess..
(People ordering coveted instruments from famous makers
with long cues just to get it delivered and flog them on eBay for sometimes 150% profit)

Anybody know if these are in stock anywhere? I started searching last night, and not surprisingly, coming up empty-handed.

Now taking center stage...



Shocked to get my first Collector's Club

And a very well thought freebie came along with it



One to go...

Don't apologize. I have witnessed more d-baggery in the knife game than any other hobby I have had. How about the guys who go to the Spyderco seconds sale and then sell them on the Bay for considerable profit. And sometimes forget to mention they are seconds.

Cutlery Shoppe has in stock still
