Thanks. I got the G-10 Manbug of course. I absolutely love FRN material for scales. Especially with the pattern Spyderco puts on their FRN handles. The G-10 is my favorite Manbug handle though. The scales on it now are blue mother of pearl kirinite. I also got the ZDP Manbug and the sprint with SB. I've had both blades on the G-10 handle but right now the SB blade is on the knife. I also ground the blade spine similar to the Jester. I also put a bit of a polish on the blade. One good thing about little knives is when I buy scale material for another knife sometimes there's enough scrap to make a set of scales for a small knife. I'm made several sets of scales for this Manbug. I only made this set because I had the extra material and I was bored. :) When I was done they looked a lot better than I expected. Prior to this I had red bone on there and that was my favorite of the ones I've made. Double black G-10 looks great also. The contrast of black and silver bolsters is awsome.farnorthdan wrote:Jack, could you tell me what exactly you did to your manbug, I really think it looks great and would love to hear the details...thanksjackknifeh wrote:This was my EDC for today. No wallet, keys, etc. included in picture. Two Spyderco's and a couple other items. I really, really like all of these things. I consider them top-shelf in the category they each fall into. IMO that is. :)

EagleTac D25C2 mini flashlight. This light may or may not remain an EDC light. So far the larger size has not been a problem. The light output of course is huge compared to my favorite EDC light, the Fenix LD01. What I have learned is if I do want to carry this larger (size and lumens) light is not so big it's a burden.
Sorry to get off topic from "what Spyderco" is in your pocket. One thing that would make for a more complete selection of knives would be the Stretch, GB or something with a longer blade.

For me like most people it's IMPOSSIBLE to pick a one and only favorite knife. But the Manbug falls into the group I'd pick from. :)
