Spyderco Forums

Hey everyone. I'm new here and enjoying the discussions :) It seems the Super Blue models were very popular. Just thought I'd pass along the Manbug is still available here:

I was surprised to see this since the Super Blue knives were in such high demand overall.

Mmm. Gotta' love the Super Blues. :)

O man. I have a Super Blue Manbug and it is simply awesome.

Just saw them on sale at BBS, 63 bucks...well 83 after shipping, but still I couldn't resist..can always use a spare.

Also jazzed about the Hap40 MB.... Just tracked...should be in my mailbox in approximately 5hrs, I'll be waiting!!

Hello Fellows,

I'm new to Spyderco knives. I bought my very first Spyderco ealier this month, a Manbug SuperBlue! I've fallen in love and bought a ZDP-189 as well. These little razors with a three finger grip fit my hand as though it was custom made for me. I took the ZDP out on a fox calling trip over the week end and used it to take a pretty nice tail and dress a couple of rabbits for no other reason than to use the knife. I'm converted! The Manbug is by far the biggest little knife I've ever used.

The Manbug is my regular back-up model. I generally rotate between steels. Just started carrying the HAP40 model.

I bought a Delica 4 in HAP40. I s'pose it wouldn't hurt to buy a Manbug in HAP40 as well. :)

I love mine, for sure. In my pocket now.

How would solid, unclad Super Blue and bolstered G10 get along?

Definitely grab a HAP Manbug Bloke, you'll regret it down the road if you dont, trust me. The HAP40's are going to be hard to find in a couple years just like the SB's.

G'day farnorthdan

Mate, I've gone mad on these knives. I bought the first Manbug 04 May just gone, since then I bought another one, and the Delica, ordered a Stretch ZDP-189, Para Military S110V, a SharpMaker, diamond rods, UF Rods and I'm about to order a Manix 2 S110V. Plus I want a Military S110V and S30V. I want every Spyderco I see! :p

Sounds like your settling in just fine Bloke :D just pray you don't get disco'd fever and start chasing all those great pieces from the past as well.

Ah, disco and the '70's they were indeed fun times and hearing those old songs take me back! Oh, to be a teenager again......!

I've been a knife nut since i was a little boy and i couldn't count how many knives I have, had, gifted and lost or misplaced. I can't understand how I overlooked Spyderco's other than I primarily use fixed blades. Anyhow lucky my darling wife is understanding. She still askes silly questions somethimes. The other day she asked "How many knives does one man need?" worst of all I had no answer! :)

A man needs five hundred and sixty-nine knives, no less and no more... well now you know what to answer your wife.

Ah, ha ha ha, Good on you Mikael! I just showed her your reply. She shook her head, chuckled and asked "Don't you have more than that?" Mate, you can't win!

I think you'll look long and hard and still not find a better little knife than the Manbug. I have the equivalent offerings from several US and EU manufacturers. The Manbug is plain better! My SuperBlue lives in my pocket and the ZDP in my fox calling bag. Think I'll have to buy a HAP40. :D

G'day JD,

These little razors make exceptional small game knives. Don't let the knife's diminutive size trick you. I used a ZDP to take a fox tail last weekend and dress a couple of rabbits. The knife seems tailored to the task. I'm sure you'll love it any way you use it.

Thanks! Seems like it is working wel for you. It is my pocket now. Looking forward to putting it through its paces.

You know what they say: "It doesn't have to be big,just sharp!"
