Limited edition 1200 piece run!
This Spyderco Sprint Run ManBug is made with Aogami Super Blue steel for an extremely sharp, long-lasting cutting edge. The blade has a Super Blue steel core between layers of 420J1 stainless steel laminate. While looking at the blade you will notice a line running parallel to the cutting edge on the grind where the two steels meet. One of the most obvious advantages of using a stainless steel laminate is it's resistance to oxidation and stains where high carbon steels, like the Aogami Super Blue, must be properly maintained to avoid corrosion and pitting.
Aogami Super Blue is produced exclusively by Hitachi Metals at their plant in Japan. They use high quality iron-sand found only there to create different grades of white and blue steels. The steel itself isnt blue or white in color; instead the designation refers to the color of paper the raw steel comes wrapped in when delivered to Hitachi.
Side by side, the Manbug and the Ladybug are a contrast of gender related differences. While theyâre the same overall length, Manbugs are thicker and more muscular with a meatier frame than their thinner, lighter Ladybug counterparts. Their wider modified clip-point blade and handle carry compact and efficiently like a Ladybug, they simply have more testosterone.
