Blade shapes: Ladybug vs Manbug

#1

Post by Infinite Zero »

I was having a discussion with a friend today about the Manbug and how it’s available in a variety of blade shapes (clip-point, wharncliffe, sheepsfoot, hawkbill and leaf). They mentioned that the Manbug carried a bit too big for their pockets, so they stick with the Ladybug.

The Ladybug is only available in clip-point and hawkbill. Are there any plans for additional blade shapes for the Ladybug to match the Manbug?

Same here. I own some Manbugs, but the Ladybugs seem to find their way into my pocket more often than not. The Hawkbills are attached to every set of car keys I own. That said, I'm waiting for my VG10 Manbug Hawkbill!

I much prefer the Ladybug over the Manbug...the Manbug's thick squarish scales are uncomfortable for me. But I guess it depends on the size of the fingers one has.

It’s really interesting to take some time and measure the differences. It’s amazing how little changes make big differences. Clip point SE Ladybug ftw.
