Spyderco Manbug Leaf Black Lightweight FRN, Satin Plain VG-10 by Sal Glesser (MBKLFP)

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.
