Spyderco MBKWSB Manbug 1.91″ Folding Wharncliffe Serrated Non-Reflective Black TiCN VG-10 SS Blade, Black Textured FRN Handle

Description

The Spyderco Mbkwsb Manbug features a 1.91" VG-10 stainless blade, wharncliffe, serrated edge, textured FRN handle, black finish.

The blade is VG-10 SS, a Japanese high-carbon stainless that takes a very fine edge, holds it well, and resists corrosion – a long-standing favourite for folding knives. A serrated edge bites into rope, webbing and fibrous material far better than a plain edge, and stays aggressive long after a plain edge has dulled. FRN keeps the weight and the price down while staying tough and textured in hand.

At under two and a half inches this is a compact everyday carry knife: light in the pocket, unobtrusive, and legal to carry in more places than a larger blade.

Carry laws are set locally as well as by state, and a 1.91" blade is legal to carry in many places and not in others – check your state and city rules before you carry it. Knives ship directly to you with no FFL transfer and no background check, unlike a firearm. Keep the blade dry and the pivot clean, and touch the edge up on a strop or fine stone before it gets properly dull – it is far less work than bringing back a blunt edge.

From a functional standpoint, knives with coated blades are most relevant to the needs of tactical users concerned with light discipline. The black-bladed Manbug Wharncliffe is the perfect pocket companion for this crowd, offering the cutting performance of a Wharncliffe blade cloaked in a non-reflective titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating.
