Yay! I’m excited to see these show up! The G10 Manbug was the very first Spyderco I purchased eight years ago (thanks to TSA actually). I have a strong suspicion that a blade swap is in order with the TiCN-coated black blade going into the yellow Manbug Salt scales - the “buzzed” Manbug ;).

Here’s the description for them from Reveal 6:

Dunno, I’m pretty sure the TiCN-coated Dragonfly existed before the Manbug version... ;)

If you have the Spyderco app on your phone (Android at least) the announcement created a cute little "Spyder" icon (see upper left of pic) when the announcement was made. I don't want to ever delete it! LOL

i don't have a problem with the manbug. i just know people have been begging for a coated dragonfly here for years and i don't remember anyone ever asking for a coated manbug. ever.

is that the tnp knife? who wants to rep that dude? also, i'm talking about a production knife; not some sprint or exclusive. i'd order a coated df2 salt right now if it was available and i've already promised my wife i'd stop buying knives for a while.

sorry to derail. the manbug is cool and i'm glad it's getting a coated version. i hope the df2 follows right behind.

Hey Sharp Guy,

I've been carrying mine every day since I got it. It's a very useful small knife.

Hi RS.

Thanx for sharing.

I said this would be my first Spydie of 2021 in the other thread so this is great news! The release of the K390 Ladybug made me really revisit it as an EDC for the better half of a year, and I truly appreciate the blade shape more than the Manbug... This may solve that problem nicely, as I vastly prefer the ergos of the Manbug.

Speaking of which, any chance of this knife in K390? How about a blackout run of the production K390?

I'm thinking it will replace my Ladybug Salt Hawkbill as my pajama knife.

No fair tormenting me with that picture!!! I wasn't able to get one, but I drool over that knife every time I see it. It is beautiful.
