How many of you would buy a Carbon Fiber Manbug if Sal made it? I'd like ZDP 189, myself.
- best wishes, Jazz.

Unlined, like the original CF Ladybug, definitely. Lined, definitely not. So that's either a qualified yes, for me, or a qualified no. As for steel, I'd take rust resistance over edge retention.

A resounding "YES" for me. :) As Paul mentioned, I would also prefer unlined vs. lined. ZDP would be welcomed, but I'm not opposed to VG-10 either.

That would be awesome! With nice and shinny CF! On the steel maybe H-1...

+1 on a shiny CF finish, and I too would prefer rust resistance over edgeholding in a Manbug/Ladybug.

Definitely unlined for me, too. I'd be fine with VG10.

I carry a SB manbug daily, its one of my favorites, I think its the SB that attracts me more than anything but I do like having a small backup also. To answer your question though, I would definitely be down with a CF version of the manbug and would probably buy one seeing as I have absolutely no self control when it comes to buying Spydies.

Zdp isn't rusty (unless tyou totally don't care for your blade) and with the kind of work we do with the ladybug I don't see how anyone would chip the edge. ZDP for me!

Hi Folks!


I'd buy a CF Mabug. But No Bolsters. Full CF handles for me. Even better if it's textured CF. :)

Steel? CTS-XHP would be awesome. :D
