So I see This Tiny Little Knife...

[Bob Denman]

The ManBug.
Can anyone give me their personal perspective on this little tooters?
They seem like a "drop it in your pocket, and forget it! knife.
Is the handle of a useful size?

 

[Mister Coffee]

I've swallowed things that were larger than that. And still had room for dessert.

How small is too small? You'll have to ask my lawyer.

 

[Bob Denman]

I like that I can get it with K390 steel...

Edge retention. That's what I was thinking, too. I mean, with that little beauty, the cutting will never end.

 

[MolokaiRider]

I have a salt LadyBug.

It is a great keychain knife. It's about a two finger grip, and a little tough to deploy one-handed, but can be done.

It opens boxes and letters like a boss.

 

[Bob Denman]

Ahhhh... crap!
It's time to buy another knife...

 

[Mister Coffee]

Ahhhh... crap!
It's time to buy another knife...

Just keep in mind that a ManBug is going to be tricky to sharpen on your Ken Onion Work Sharp.

 

[Bob Denman]

With that steel: the edge might just outlast me.
And it has been ordered...

 

[Mister Coffee]

Didn't K-Bar make a fixed blade in 1095 that was about that size in case the United States is ever attacked by people the size of a French cruller?

 

[Bob Denman]

Well if they made it back in 1095: it has got to be a rare antique!

For assailants of that size: I prefer a 20 ounce claw hammer.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

It's SO tiny, it'd be hard for you to get a good pinch grip to open it. And your wife would likely not approve.

 

[Bob Denman]

I'm used to that!
(Nothing to grip, and Lots of disapproval...)

 

[SpyderPhreak]

That's what sh... never mind.

 

[Murphjd25]

The Manbug is tiny, too tiny.

 

[Bob Denman]

She said the same thing!

 

[Mister Coffee]

If Bob wants to get a ManBug — which is, let's face it, a "unique" choice — then I think we should all support him.

And then say things behind his back. (Like we always do.)

 

[Bob Denman]

I would prefer to join in on the fun: I am my own most vocal heckler!

Manbugs are great. My office edc for the last 7 years until Covid.

I find the Ladybug(have a "few") to be more my taste. I prefer the blade shape better.. Tho I also have a couple Manbugs and Jesters..

I Never leave the house without one in my front left pocket!

They can be deployed single handed, left or right hand..

K390, on 2 of my ladybugs..(thought I lost one, so I bought another)
I just wish I didn't have to buy 2x each time, because I can't stand the scale color.
So I blade swap and sell the blue with a vg10 blade.
