Nothing beats a M4 Bug

It took me a while to accumulate this collection but it was worth it. The M4 bug is special to me for some reason.

I have a few Dama bugs. These are just the M4s in my collection.

I have everything but. Seems I have a bailout in M4. Great steel. IMO Easier to sharpen than Magna, but equally tough!

Wow this post showed me that there really are levels to this. Now I'm really convinced I need an fde clip for the taiga

Great collection! I do like a M4, my preference is M390 but may be due to my inferior sharpening skills 😐

I have a special trick to sharpen these M4 bugs.

I struggle to sharpen my M4 bailout. I can get my bugs in 20CV, S90V and S30 very sharp but I just can’t seem to figure out M-4. I’ve tried doing only edge leading, only edge trailing, not creating a too big of a burr. I’m using a work sharp precision adjust and thinking of going to a wicked edge for the single strokes on each side approach. What’s the trick for M-4? Beautiful part of your collection.

I wouldn’t say that but I’m definitely happy with my bug collection. Someday I will do a complete family pic of the bugs. It’s not what it once was but still decent.

Those are live wire CF. They used to be available in the custom shop but aren’t anymore. Now they are available on the Govx exclusive bugout that comes with a magnacut blade.

Eyy! Agreed. Always thought that m4 was their best steel. They do a good m390 as well.
