Didn't realize the manbug salt was already out. May have to scoop one to match my Dfly salt and ladybug hawksbill salt

Re: The end all Salt edc pair!
Sweet, glad to see the Manbug salt is already available! Nice combo.

Re: The end all Salt edc pair!
I'd get a manbug if it came from the factory with a functional tip. That squared off stuff is gross.

Or something.
I'm a little unsure about the size. Anyone care to take some closed comparison pics with a Ladybug? I had planned for this to be my keychain knife but that looks like a porky little knife.

Re: The end all Salt edc pair!
not a fan? I like pointy tips as much as anyone (I edc a yo2) but the sheepsfoot have their uses. I'm definitely getting one of these, I like variety. Spyderco should make a PE ZDP Hawkbill Manbug too, we'd both be happy, I'd have more variety and you'd have a tip. :pVivi wrote:I'd get a manbug if it came from the factory with a functional tip.

I prefer the Manbug so far (Ladybug is my wife's). To me, the absolute size difference is negligible on a keychain, but I also used getting the Manbug as an excuse to go pretty minimalist on my keys otherwise. Just house key, car key, and MB. I have a seperate keyring with less frequently used keys, etc., that rides in my backpack.

Does this mean someone used the cut-off wheel attachment on the dremel and removed the 8th day?Evil D wrote:And on the 8th day, God created the Dremel, and lo he decreed thusly onto man, whoever shall have desires for pointy tips, shall have them.Vivi wrote:I'd get a manbug if it came from the factory with a functional tip.

Awesome. The Manbug is a bit thicker too right? I only have a 3 keys, a fob remote for my car and my Ladybug on my keys but 2 of the keys are car keys and are on the thick side. I do hang the Ladybug from a little knot of paracord so you may be right and I won't notice the size difference. It looks like it'll be a lot easier to open one handed too.

Re: The end all Salt edc pair!
I thought about checking that... right after I left the house lol. Will take a look when I get home. I also have the Hap40 MB, so I can check if it's any different than the Salt one.Evil D wrote: The Manbug is a bit thicker too right?... It looks like it'll be a lot easier to open one handed too.
As far as opening, yes, I feel like the little bit of extra purchase on the MB handle makes it easier to operate one-handed.

Re: The end all Salt edc pair!
Nice pairing, Josh. Just ordered the MB, thanks to your post. In a few days, I'll be right there with you.

Re: The end all Salt edc pair!
Larger handle has to help, but it looks like this knife has a bit larger thumb hole and it looks like it's raised up a bit compared to others.Nate wrote: As far as opening, yes, I feel like the little bit of extra purchase on the MB handle makes it easier to operate one-handed.

Re: The end all Salt edc pair!
I've been waiting for the Manbug Salt to drop too. Looks like a great companion to my normal EDC knives. I usually carry a PM2, 940-1 or CRK Inkosi so the little serrated sheepsfoot should be a great compliment. Also great for biking and running when I don't want something big or something I have to worry about getting all sweaty.
Current collection: ZDP-189 Delica 4, S110V PM2, St. Nick's 4v Para 3, H1 sheepsfoot Manbug, Kapara, VG-10 Dragonfly, ATS-55 Serrated Delica, ZDP-189 MT04 (not broken yet) + Other non spydercos.
Re: The end all Salt edc pair!
I find this Manbug very easy to open with the slightly larger hump from the sheepsfoot blade. It really is a great LBK.

Re: The end all Salt edc pair!
It would be functional as heck, I would EDC. Maybe I'll start a thread. Srry for going off topic on this one :oRadioactiveSpyder wrote:Good gravy, that would be epic! :DZrowsN1s wrote: I'm definitely getting one of these, I like variety. Spyderco should make a PE ZDP Hawkbill Manbug too

Re: The end all Salt edc pair!
Got my shipped notice today, actually pretty excited for this one, been carrying my SB Manbug every day for over 3 years now, such a great little knife, might be time to change things up.
