In 1978, they settled in Golden, Colorado, and initially, the company focused on selling our first product: the Tri-Angle Sharpmakerβ„’ which was primarily sold at fairs and trade shows around the country. Since then, Spyderco has steadily grown to become one of the leaders in the cutlery industry. In addition to a worldwide distribution network and manufacturing resources in the U.S., Japan, Taiwan, Italy, and China, our innovation has also earned us an impressive portfolio of patents, trademarks, and industry awards. More importantly, it has allowed us to earn the trust and loyalty of countless thousands of dedicated knife users around the worldβ€”an audience to whom we are extremely grateful. Review: A crazy good knife for such a small package. Much easier to open and close one handed than Ladybug. - Though I still really like the Ladybug for it's thiner blade. This Wharncliffe blade style is the cat's pajamas . . . very useful. The fuller / thicker handle on this Manbug some how is just enough to allow one handed opening to be no big deal where as, with my medium male hands the Ladybug takes focus and concentration to open one handed. UPDATE: 3-10-22 Recently I bought the normal blade shape Manbug in K390 steel (a great, long wearing super steel) but I find the normal shape clip point blade to be harder to open one handed, ?due to the slight change in the placement of the thumb hole?, so I still prefer the Wharncliffe Manbug and look forward to getting one in K390. I follow the Spyderco Forum daily; realistically that version could be a year or more away so enjoy which ever or both versions that are available NOW ! Too good a knife to put off. To the naysayers that (misguidedly) complain this is "just" a cheep plastic knife I say : Yes and a modern Ferrari, with similar composite components (carbon fiber is very similar to FRN) is "just" a cheep plastic automobile. I just stumbled across this quote in the Spyderco knife forum later today and had to come back add it here : QUOTE : I have posted this before, but in my many years here the only broken FRN handle that I can recall being posted was a Salt 1 that was run over by a Bobcat [earth moving machine] while the blade was stuck into the ground. QUOTE ENDS. UPDATE ENDS. Not much more to say ; worth the money ; good stuff ! ! ! Review: Great pocket knife - Super cool little pocket knife. Very sharp out of box. Bought one for myself and for my submarine sailor son. Made in Japan. If you like cool, understated Japanese stuff, this is for you. Blade steel made in region - Seki, Japan - traditionally known for making samurai swords. Enough said. ## Features - Compact Power & Precision - The perfectly straight edge delivers both scalpel-like precision and impressive cutting power, making it an incredibly versatile tool in a compact design. - Iconic VG-10 Blade - Known for its excellent edge retention, sharpness, and toughness, VG-10 steel ensures long-lasting performance in a variety of tasks. - Ergonomic Non-Slip Handle - The FRN handle, reinforced with fiberglass and textured with Spyderco's Bi-Directional Texture, offers a secure, slip-resistant grip, even in challenging conditions. - Safe & Reliable Locking Mechanism - Equipped with a durable back lock mechanism, the Manbug ensures the blade stays securely open during use and closes safely after the task is done. - Versatile & Convenient - With a lanyard hole for easy attachment to keys or gear, and available in both PlainEdge and SpyderEdge configurations, the Manbug is ideal for every cutting need. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08HR4CBZC | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #78,563 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #99 in Folding Hunting Knives | | Blade Edge | Straight | | Blade Length | 2 inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Wharncliffe | | Blade Type | Non-Serrated | | Brand | Spyderco | | Brand Name | Spyderco | | Color | BlackOxide | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 76 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon | | Included Components | Pocket Clip | | Item Length | 4.3 inches | | Item Shape | Manbug Wharncliffe - PlainEdge | | Item Type Name | Manbug Wharncliffe Black Blade | | Item Weight | 20 g | | Manufacturer | Spyderco | | Model Name | Manbug Wharncliffe Black Blade | | Model Number | SCMBKWPBK | | Number of Items | 1 | | Orientation | vertical | | Part Number | SCMBKWPBK | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camping | | Reusability | Reusable | | Set Name | PlainEdge | | Size | 2" | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Style | Modern | | Theme | Compact | | UPC | 716104015993 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Spyderco - **Color:** BlackOxide - **Handle Material:** Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon - **Included Components:** Pocket Clip - **Model Name:** Manbug Wharncliffe Black Blade - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Camping - **Special Feature:** Lightweight - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Manbug Wharncliffe Folding Pocket Knife, PlainEdge - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/415MGaMu5gL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Blade Shape, Set** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A crazy good knife for such a small package.

Bought one for myself and for my submarine sailor son. Made in Japan. If you like cool, understated Japanese stuff, this is for you. Blade steel made in region - Seki, Japan - traditionally known for making samurai swords. Enough said. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great steel *by D***R on June 4, 2025* Very nice tiny knife, if you have very small hands, you will really like this knife. I really like xhp steel, one of best steels you can buy, xhp likes a nice polished finish. Most steels prefer a 600 grit finish. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spyderco Manbug Wharncliffe Lightweight Knife with 1.91" VG-10 Stainless Steel Black Blade and High-Strength Black FRN Handle - MBKWPBK - Spyderco Manbug Lightweight Folding Utility Pocket Knife with 1.97" VG-10 Stainless Steel Blade and High-Strength Black FRN Handle - MBKP --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/332461963-manbug-wharncliffe-folding-pocket-knife-plainedge](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/332461963-manbug-wharncliffe-folding-pocket-knife-plainedge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
