Designed with a lightweight fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle and a secure back lock mechanism, it offers reliable precision cutting in a pocket- or keychain-friendly size. Ideal for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a versatile, durable everyday carry tool with a sleek, modern style. ## Description The ManBug is a uniquely practical folder designed by Spyderco's founder, Sal Glesser. As the founder of the company, Glesser has, through the years, carried virtually every knife Spyderco produced, as well as many prototypes and special models that never went into production. Despite the wide array of knives available to him, the one he carries most often is the Spyderco LadyBug, a small, go-anywhere clipless folder that rides in the pocket. Anyone who has ever used a LadyBug knows that it cuts with an authority far beyond its size. However, as part of Spyderco's quest for C.Q.I. (Constant Quality Improvement), Glesser decided to make it even better. And, for anyone whose male ego made it difficult for them to carry a "LadyBug," he also made life easier. The result is the ManBug, an amazingly handy cutting tool that is more at home in larger hands while still fitting inconspicuously in a pocket or even on a keychain. ## Features - Compact Power & Precision - The Manbug combines a compact size that easily fits in a pocket or on a keychain with impressive cutting power, making it ideal for everyday carry and tasks that demand precision. - Iconic VG-10 Blade - Known for its excellent edge retention, sharpness, and toughness, VG-10 steel ensures long-lasting performance in a variety of tasks. - Ergonomic Non-Slip Handle - The FRN handle, reinforced with fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle that is injection molded that ensures long-lasting performance in a variety of tasks. - Safe & Reliable Locking Mechanism - Equipped with a durable back lock mechanism, the Manbug ensures the blade stays securely open during use and closes safely after the task is done. - Versatile & Convenient - With a lanyard hole for easy attachment to keys or gear, and available in both PlainEdge and SpyderEdge configurations, the Manbug is ideal for every cutting need. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range Description | Adult | | Asin | B006C0E78S | | Best Sellers Rank | #103,971 in Sports & Outdoors (See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors) #142 in Folding Hunting Knives | | Blade Edge | Plain . | | Blade Length | 2.01 inches | | Blade Material | Stainless steel | | Blade Shape | Standard | | Blade Type | Straight Edge | | Brand Name | Spyderco | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (320) 4.7 out of 5 stars | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00716104004676 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon | | Included Components | Pocket Clip | | Item Length | 4.4 inches | | Item Shape | Manbug - PlainEdge | | Item Type Name | Holster | | Item Weight | 18 g | | Manufacturer | Spyderco | | Model Name | MBKP | | Model Number | SCMBKP-BRK | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 400467 | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camping | | Reusability | Reusable | | Set Name | PlainEdge | | Size | 2" | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Style | Modern | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upc | 716104004676 | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless steel - **Brand:** Spyderco - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon - **Included Components:** Pocket Clip - **Model Name:** MBKP - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Camping - **Special Feature:** Lightweight - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![MANBUG - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51HxVGUKiEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Blade Shape, Set** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Pocket Carry Knife *by on Reviewed in the United States November 6, 2025* The knife is very sharp and convenient. It is small enough to keep on a keychain and has been used for opening packages, cutting tags off items, scraping sticky items, and other general requirements. It is expensive but the quality is good. The knife is easy to open and lock/unlock. While it is small, it is easy to grasp and the hole in the blade adds an extra leverage point. Very happy with the knife and would buy it again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first Spyderco! *by on Reviewed in the United States May 11, 2018* I’ve been a semi knife enthusiast for many years and have tried and collected Gerber (German and USA, and Japanese) Case, Buck, Victronox Wenger, Kershaw etc. But I have never tried a Spyderco, well until my tiny Gerber USA folder vanished.I’m in awe of the blade sharpness out of the box, and though so tiny I could not get this knife to flex or bend or break the lock in anyway. And I’m a strong individual by freak genetics, I love the pattern on the glass filled handle and even with my huge hands I can open it with one hand.It’s the size of a gentleman’s Swiss Army knife but with a much thicker and capably blade. Honestly I’m blown away buy the fit and finish even though it’s not cheap it’s built world class and can definitely do heavier tasks a bigger knife can.Now I want to get a bigger Spyderco for heavier work and whittleing. Colour me impressed! If you want the best and toughest and most capable ‘tiny’ knife look no further. And the Japanese make one hell of a blade, I have Shen kitchen knives that are 12 years old and have never been sharpened and are as sharp as they were from day one.I also have the 25 year old Japanese ‘silver knight’ pictured that you could still shave with. My all time leader though is my serrated a Wenger 8 inch kitchen utility knife that is 30 years old and is used everyday and is still sharp!Let me say also that the person who said the handle flexes and looks like a 1.99 handle- well you got a fake I’m sorry. What impresses me about this knife is how tough this little buggger is, and I can’t move or bend the handle one micron under my considerable strength. It seems even stronger than bone or steel, definitely a high grade handle material in harmony with the other excellent materials.Probably to late now, but if you can flex that handle a micron it’s not genuine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little knife that can *by on Reviewed in the United States January 14, 2013* This little knife works great for all activities you would expect from a pocket size knife. As mentioned, it unboxed with a razor sharp blade and still shows signature hole deployment look by Spyderco. VG10 type steel - keeps edge but soft enough to be sharpened easily. Having considered predecessor version of Ladybug decided to go with Manbug for a few reasons:-it uses torx adjustable screws as I would like to be able to clean and tighten the handle if needed-slightly thicker handle & blade-better thumb grip (jimping)One of its cons is the price but then again it is backed by a recognized company - your call on the value here. Also, it is just a bit big/wide for a 'keychain' knife but it is doable. Attach it with an Nite Ize SBHLF-2PK-01 S-Biner, Black, 2-Pack since you can separate it from the rest of the keys for easier use as compared to a keychain ring. I would rather not have it on my keys due to bulk but it is so light that I am worried about it falling out without me noticing. It has a lanyard hole that is big enough to pass 550 cord and 1.5"-2" lanyard makes difference giving you something to pull on and improve the grip for 1 hand opening.'Office use' safe without an intimidation factor and most people react to it with a "how cute" comment but quickly change it to "holly crap that's a mean little knife..." after they use it. If you need to make a color statement or want a different type of blade shape then Ladybug model might be a better and perhaps an additional Spyderco choice :)----------------EDIT NOTE 8/3/13Still love this knife, started to carry it with a small 550 paracord lanyard, mainly updating since amazon removed the customer images feature.image 5 and 6.----------------UPDATE NOTE 8/4/18This little knife still ROCKS! After many many sliced fruits, cardboard and plastic boxes, tape, Cat5 cables, mice and keyboard cords, even used as a screwdriver when necessary. Currently have green paracrord and 2 small skulls. (image 7 and 8). Blade has taken some abuse but mostly from my lack of sharpening skill in early days. I just could not make myself send it in for sharpening and be apart from it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spyderco Manbug Lightweight Folding Utility Pocket Knife with 1.97" VG-10 Stainless Steel Blade and High-Strength Black FRN Handle - MBKP - Spyderco Ladybug 3 Plain Edge Folding Knife - Spyderco Ladybug 3 Lightweight Knife with 1.97" K390 Premium Stainless Steel Blade and Durable Blue FRN Handle - PlainEdge - LFP3K390 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://malta.desertcart.com/products/3234326-manbug](https://malta.desertcart.com/products/3234326-manbug) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malta* *Store origin: MT* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
