The Spyderco Manbug MBKWSB delivers precision cutting performance in an ultra-compact 1.91-inch package. This lightweight everyday carry folder combines premium VG-10 stainless steel with a non-reflective black TiCN coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced glare.
What Makes This Different
The Wharncliffe blade geometry provides superior control for detailed cutting tasks compared to traditional drop-point designs. VG-10 steel maintains a razor-sharp edge longer than standard 440C stainless, while the SpyderEdge serrations bite through fibrous materials that would dull plain edges. The black TiCN coating adds hardness and wear resistance beyond basic powder coating or anodizing.
Key Features
- 1.91-inch VG-10 stainless steel blade with 58-60 HRC hardness
- SpyderEdge partial serrations for cutting rope, webbing, and tough materials
- Non-reflective black TiCN coating reduces glare and adds corrosion protection
- Wharncliffe blade shape optimized for precision cutting and scraping tasks
- Black textured FRN handle provides secure grip in wet conditions
- Lightweight construction at approximately 1.0 ounce total weight
- Spyderco Round Hole for one-handed opening with gloves
Field performance centers on the blade's ability to handle both fine detail work and aggressive cutting scenarios. The serrated section excels at slicing through seat belts, paracord, and synthetic materials while the plain edge maintains precision for package opening and food preparation. The compact size makes it suitable for office carry, outdoor activities, and backup utility tasks where larger knives prove impractical.
