About Spyderco
Spyderco is one of the pioneers of modern pocket knives and has long focused on ergonomics, innovation, and real-world practical use.
Character and philosophy
The Spyderco Manbug embodies the philosophy of maximum functionality in a minimal design. Although it is one of the smallest folding knives in Spyderco’s lineup, it offers excellent ergonomics and surprisingly effective cutting performance thanks to its precisely designed blade.
The blade made from CPM SPY27 powder steel, developed exclusively for Spyderco, offers a very good balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Thanks to this, the Manbug is suitable for everyday small tasks without concerns about quick dulling.
The Manbug is designed as a discreet yet fully functional EDC tool that makes sense to always have with you.
Key benefits

Maintenance and care
Clean and dry the blade after use. Regularly check the lock function. Maintain the edge with light sharpening to preserve maximum cutting control.
To maintain the optimal sharpness of CPM SPY27 steel, we recommend using sharpening systems with a fixed angle guide, allowing precise and even sharpening even on a very small blade.
A very suitable choice is the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF, which enables safe sharpening of a plain edge without the risk of damaging the cutting edge.
