My attempt at a Manbug video

#1

Post by Jazz »

Since the FRN Manbugs (I have SB, ZDP, and VG10) are my favotites right now, I had to show some of it's uses. No laughing allowed or I'll tell my mom. :D Sorry if I mumble. Anyway...
Thanks for lookin'.
- best wishes, Jazz.

Nice Video! I am really glad that you didn't slice your leg open taking the sole off that shoe. ;)

This was my though before I even saw your comment Fancier. I was expecting him to hit his femoral artery or something. Jazz, the capabilities are very obvious but I would still prefer my Military to slice shoes in half. Tatanka would have chopped that shoe in one swipe! ;)

Thanks for the compliments. I like simple without a bunch of yapping. I was careful, hence the weirdly spread legs. I've made enough mistakes to know better. Yes, the Tatanka could probably do two shoes in one. :rolleyes: Still, I'm glad for no cuts to arteries. I've been known to cut a shoe or two though :D ...

Great video Jazz, I was certainly cringing when you were sawing the shoe apart! The Manbug deserves this kind of great video for sure, a fabulous model and ultra capable for its small size! Cheers, Radioactive :)

Good video jazz.i have a manbug that never gets carried. I blame the lack of clip. Also my g10 dragonfly is my most used & most carried. I do love the little big knives. I feel you on the tatanka eye roll.

Funny, dk481, I like clips myself, but the Manbug is great for either a watch pocket or just under a larger knife clipped in the pocket. You can't go wrong with a Dfly, though. Welcome, by the way. :)

To the point...I like how you simplistically lay out uses for the Manbug...

Audio was a little too low for me...

Good call on paring the apple BEFORE you cleaned your nails & processed the shoe... :eek: :p

But to truly impress me & earn *****5 STARS***** you'll need to cut a Buick in half with the LBK :cool:

Great video jazz. It makes me think that I don't really need my Caly 3.

Now I wonder what you could cut with a Ladybug. :D

I would love to see a hawkbill manbug. Would have made short work of that shoe. The h1 ladybug salt hawkbill is awesome and I would jump on a hawkbill h1 manbug. Till then I prefer the dragonfly. Great vid, simple and informative. Kind of like the old saying a picture is worth a thousand words.

I still have another shoe and a couple Ladybugs. ;)
Yes, the audio was everywhere.
And, I was completely surprised how much I like the knife. Compared to a Ladybug, it feels so much better and more capable. Ever since one day when I cut some hanging thin branches, I've been carrying one. I always have larger knives on me too, but find myself grabbing the MB.

I couldn't tell, were you blindfolded in any of these situations? :)

Your video is going to do a lot for Manbug sales for sure.

Good job...

Great video! This is a knife I've considered but never picked up (just like the dragonfly). I probably should grab one in super blue if I can still find it.

No blindfold. ;)
I really don't know which steel is my favorite, but I love the grey handles best. I really haven't hard used SB yet. I just like variety. Get a SB while you can.

Awesome video! :D Small knives can be so useful. I really enjoyed the video, and hope to see more videos like this in the future.
