Manbug/Ladybug colors

#1

Post by Doc Dan »

Sal, I know others have mentioned this before, but could we have some new colors in the basic VG-10 Manbug and Ladybug knives? Of course, I would want Coyote, dark olive, even dark brick. Patriot blue or country blue would be nice, a good earth tone.

What do you think? These little guys have been neglected for too long.

Seriously....red/black Zome. It's common sense. The only issue I could see is maybe the blend pattern is too big to get a good enough pattern on such a small handle? I just can't believe this wasn't one of the very first Zome knives.

Yes, it is kind of hard to imagine, but there are a lot of colors that have not been offered that would make better sense to me. Hey! I'll take one in Bulldog blue!

Seriously, a solid red would be nice on such a small knife, but I'd want it to be toned down a bit...oxblood or something.

I'm all for more ladybugs. I have the British Racing Green ZDP, the V-Toku2, purple, yellow Salt's, black, and grey. Got a sheepsfoot Salt Manbug, and the GIOTD Jester. Keep em coming. 1st in line for the red/black Zome LB!

My favorite thing to give away is the Hawkbill Salt Ladybug. Awesome keychain knife!

Where something like color is so easy to change, I'm actually surprised we don't see more colors available in the base model Ladybug. Even a color palette in line with the Delica and Endura would make sense.

These colors, except in the Ladybug series -

I think an Olive Green and a Brown to match both of the new Roadie colors would be good additions as well.

I wonder how difficult the "cleanup" is to get another color ready to inject/mold? Or is it each color gets it's own injector/mold?

I personally think glow in the dark Salt models makes a lot of sense for the keychain knives. I have a handful of the GITD Jesters and Ladybugs (as well as the Dflies and Delicas). I love them. I would like to see blue GITD scales offered as well. Blue GITD Salt models with H1 PE and SE blades would make awesome little keychain knives. Throw in some TiCN variants as well and now we are cooking with fire!

Blue or green GITD would be nice.
