SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Spyderco Manbug proves that size doesn't dictate strength. This compact lockback is built tough with premium materials and thoughtful design, making it a dependable tool that disappears in your pocket until it's time to get to work. At just 2.5 inches closed and weighing under an ounce, it’s incredibly lightweight—yet it punches above its weight when it comes to cutting performance.
The 1.9-inch serrated leaf-shaped blade is crafted from VG-10 stainless steel, a Japanese steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The fully serrated edge tears through rope, cardboard, and fibrous material with ease, while the satin finish keeps things sleek and functional. Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole offers quick, reliable one-handed opening, even with gloves or wet hands.
The black fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handles offer a sturdy grip with a lightweight frame. Textured for control and shaped for comfort, they’re backed up by a rock-solid lockback mechanism that keeps the blade secure when in use. A lanyard hole adds carry flexibility, making it easy to attach to your keys, gear loop, or neck lanyard so it’s always close at hand.
Crafted in Japan to Spyderco’s strict standards, the Manbug is a compact workhorse with the soul of a full-sized folder. Whether you need a discreet backup blade or a reliable everyday companion, this knife delivers performance without compromise.
