Spyderco Manbug - Wharncliffe

The Spyderco Manbug Wharncliffe uses a 1.91-inch VG-10 blade and textured black FRN handle to create a small but carefully engineered folding design.

The blade opens through Spyderco’s round thumb hole, allowing deliberate control throughout the opening movement. The Wharncliffe geometry places the edge along a straight line, supporting precise contact and predictable edge placement.

Design and Craftsmanship

• Purposeful geometry: The straight edge and compact proportions emphasize controlled, accurate blade placement.
• Proven materials: VG-10 stainless steel balances edge performance, corrosion resistance, and practical maintenance.
• Traditional mechanism: A thumb-operated opening hole and back lock keep the operating system direct and familiar.
