Hey 40mm,

Nice work. I guess you're now a tester. Keep us posted.

Tried giving it another go but turns out I didn't get the clip placement just right so it's not holding as securely as I had first thought. If it held securely and had a smooth spot where the clip contacted the FRN I think it would be fine, but it sounds like if Sal and company end up adding a clip it wouldn't be this style anyway. It was a bold experiment but ultimately a fail. The positive is that the knife is endearing itself to me pretty quickly. Sal I agree that the Dragonfly is too big to be carried loose in the pants but the Manbug is great dropped in pocket. If you guys launch a clip that works with the lanyard hole I will definitely give it a try. For now.....this one will have a little paracord and be a true "pocket knife."

Manbugs are my daily office carry. A clip would ruin it for me. I just toss it in dress pants and they hide away just fine.

A special edition manbug with titanium handles and a small pocket clip would be a Micro blade perfection.

Awesome! I am massively interested in a clip for the manbug and ladybug.
