This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Manbug Leaf Black Lightweight FRN, Satin Plain ultralight, compact EDC folding knife. Thanks to the improved ergonomics of the Spine Jimping grip, it fits well in the hand despite its small size. Japanese VG-10 stainless steel blade, FRN (Fiber Reinforced Nylon) plastic handle.
VG-10 - a grade of tool-grade stainless alloy steel created in Japan specifically for making premium blades and knives. The steel's recipe was created by Takefu Special Steel co. Ltd, whose headquarters are located in Takefu, Fukui Prefecture. Initially used in the production of kitchen knives, it quickly found use as an excellent material for utility blades. Due to import restrictions, almost all knives made of VG-10 steel are produced in Seki, Japan.
Blade - with a modified Leaf profile modeled after the shape of a bamboo leaf. Made of Japanese VG-10 stainless steel (easy to sharpen, holds sharpness well). The blade is hardened between 59-61 HRC. Plain blade was derived with a Full Flat Grind. This grind reduced the weight of the knife and improved the cutting properties. Satin (semi-matte) finish eliminates glare. The SpyderHole round cutout (Spyderco patent) allows the knife to be opened with the thumb. Solid Back-Lock with additional Boye Detent cutout to prevent accidental release of the lock when gripping the knife firmly. Notched thumb ramp.
Handle - black in color. Made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), a fiberglass-reinforced nylon material, it has bi-directional non-slip grips (Bi-Directional Texturing) for excellent grip, even with greasy or wet hands. The notched ramp and the back of the Handle, known as Spine Jimping, increase grip confidence. In the back of the Handle there is a hole for a rope.
