Product Description
The Spyderco Manbug Salt MYLS is the H-2 SpyderEdge keychain-to-pocket Salt folder — H-2 nitrogen-alloyed steel with outstanding marine corrosion resistance in a 1.90-inch SpyderEdge blade, Yellow FRN handle, and back lock in Spyderco's Manbug platform that sits between the ultracompact Ladybug 3 and the Dragonfly 2 in size, delivering H-2's saltwater corrosion resistance with SpyderEdge line-cutting capability in a format sized for keychain carry or ultracompact pocket carry at $72 — more handle volume than the Ladybug 3 for buyers who want a slightly more substantial grip on their keychain Salt folder.
The H-2 blade is a modified nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel with outstanding corrosion resistance in saltwater and marine environments approaching H-1's near-absolute immunity — delivering the Salt designation's core promise in a compact folder that will be carried continuously in marine, coastal, and high-humidity environments without daily maintenance. In the Manbug Salt platform, H-2 provides the corrosion-immune foundation for SpyderEdge serrations that cut rope, fishing line, webbing, and light cordage faster than plain edge in push-cutting applications — the combination that makes the MYLS a purpose-built compact marine line-cutting carry tool. The Manbug platform occupies a specific niche between the ultracompact Ladybug 3 and the Dragonfly 2 — it is larger than the Ladybug 3's 1.94-inch blade length but more compact than the Dragonfly 2's 2.25-inch blade, and the Manbug's handle geometry provides more purchase and control in hand than the Ladybug 3's minimal profile while remaining smaller than the Dragonfly 2. For buyers who find the Ladybug 3 slightly too small for comfortable controlled cutting but want to stay smaller than the Dragonfly 2, the Manbug Salt fills that carry size gap. The Yellow FRN handle is the highest-visibility Salt series color — located instantly in any marine environment — and the Manbug's compact profile at well under 1 oz fits on a keychain or in a coin pocket without adding perceptible bulk.
- Blade: H-2 nitrogen-alloyed stainless, drop point profile, satin finish, SpyderEdge full serrated — outstanding marine corrosion resistance approaching H-1; SpyderEdge cuts rope, fishing line, and light cordage faster than plain edge in push-cutting; 1.90-inch blade in the Manbug's between-Ladybug-and-Dragonfly compact format
- Handle: Yellow FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), textured grip, Manbug profile — chemically inert and unaffected by saltwater, UV, and marine biological exposure; Yellow is the highest-visibility Salt series color; more handle volume than Ladybug 3 for buyers who want slightly more grip on their compact Salt carry
- Deployment / Lock: Back Lock via Spyderco Round Hole — back lock provides reliable blade security; Round Hole allows one-hand opening from a wide range of grip positions
- Carry: Well under 1 oz, compact Manbug profile — keychain and ultracompact pocket carry; $72 positions the Manbug Salt between the Ladybug 3 Salt ($65) and the Dragonfly 2 Salt ($95) in both size and price
Ideal For
Marine, fishing, and coastal carry buyers who want a compact H-2 SpyderEdge Salt folder slightly larger than the Ladybug 3 but more compact than the Dragonfly 2 — the MYLS at $72 fills the size and price gap between the Ladybug 3 and Dragonfly 2 Salt variants, suited to buyers who find the Ladybug 3 slightly too small for controlled cutting but don't need the Dragonfly 2's full 2.25-inch blade or pocket clip carry format. Keychain carry buyers who want more handle volume than the Ladybug 3 provides in a corrosion-immune SpyderEdge format — the Manbug's handle geometry provides more purchase and grip control in hand than the Ladybug 3's minimal profile, making controlled cutting easier on small lines, monofilament, and light cordage that benefits from a more secure grip geometry. Buyers building a coordinated H-series Yellow FRN Salt carry system across multiple compact sizes — the MYLS extends the Yellow H-series compact Salt folder range between the Ladybug 3 CLYLS3 (1.94-inch H-1 SpyderEdge, $65) and the Dragonfly 2 C28SYL2 (2.25-inch H-1 SpyderEdge, $95), adding an intermediate H-2 SpyderEdge size option at $72.
H-2 nitrogen-alloyed stainless with outstanding marine corrosion resistance, SpyderEdge serrations that cut rope and line faster than plain edge, Yellow FRN found instantly in any marine environment, in the Manbug's compact format that provides more handle volume than the Ladybug 3 at $72 — the Spyderco Manbug Salt MYLS is the between-size H-2 SpyderEdge compact marine Salt folder at $72.
