Manbug needs a Hawkbill variant!
Manbug needs a Hawkbill variant!
Wanted to get the ball rolling on a Manbug Hawkbill, if you like the idea make your opinion known and hopefully sooner than later it could become a reality!

Manbug:
OAL 4.46" (113 mm) blade length 1.95" (49 mm)
length closed 2.51" (64 mm) cutting edge 1.72" (44 mm) weight .65 oz. (19 g)
Superhawk:
OALll 7.875" (200mm) blade length 3.5" (89mm)
length closed 4.687" (119mm) cutting edge 2.75" (71mm) weight 4.4oz (125g)
More like a slightly larger Ladybug Hawkbill.
I think Mike Janich's comments regarding the idea of an all black Yojimbo 2 are appropriate for this as well.

I've really found the Manbug FRN to be a great little knife. I have never been pleased with the Ladybug or the other bugs - they are just too small to be really useful to me. The little Baby Goddard also falls into this category, but I can't resist the charms of its Micarta...
The Manbug, however, adds just enough width and girth to actually fit in my hand as a useful tool.

Ya I know it's not going to happen anytime soon... I was just hoping for some initial support so spyderco might at least put it on the list of possibilities. My Ladybug Hawkbill is my favorite "little big knife" and I hope to see the manbug version someday.The Deacon wrote: I think Mike Janich's comments regarding the idea of an all black Yojimbo 2 are appropriate for this as well.

I'd really like to see a manbug with a mini version of the superhawk blade. Basically a shallow, full flat ground PE hawkbill ideal for precision cutting or use as an OSS hideout.
Small knives like the ladybug and cricket are the ideal formats for the hawkbill blade, as it makes the most of the small blade and is ideal for small knife tasks like opening packages, zip ties, and plastic sheeting.
So I'd love a PE manbug.

I'd probably pass on a hawkbill Manbug.

+1 for a Hawkbill Manbug. My Manbug stayed on my keys for just a week before I went back to a Ladybug Hawkbill (bought the H1 version so I could keep the VG-10 sprint off my keys). I love the handle on the Manbug, but I just find a tiny Hawkbill extremely useful, especially since I am usually carrying a second larger knife already.
