The Spyderco ManBug in black FRN (brand part no. MBKP) is a uniquely practical folder designed by Spyderco founder Sal Glesser, sized to feel at home in larger hands while still fitting inconspicuously in a pocket or on a keychain. Made by Spyderco, the 1.95-inch blade is machined from VG-10 stainless steel in a PlainEdge profile. Unlike the tiny all-steel Bug family, the ManBug adds a reliable back lock, making it a true small EDC rather than just a keychain accessory.
