DRAGONFLY 2

Michelle‘s brother Steve I have carried a dragonfly for over 20 years, until I lost it. Got this dragonfly 2. To replace my old dragonfly. Still love it, even though the price has gone up. Love the size, light weight, and ergonomics of the grip. I Like that you can choke up on the blade without cutting yourself. This is especially useful on a knife this compact. It’s easy to open with one hand and the lock feels secure and safe. It was nice and sharp right out of the box and I like the shape and size of the blade. Seems to have all the same good attributes of my previous dragonfly. got one for both my son and myself. Also got a dragonfly 2 salt with serrated blade.

Final conclusion: I'll give you this first, if I lost this knife, i would immediately order another, no question, no comparison shopping. Usage: Have used this regularly for over 4 years (among other knives). Great for daily tasks and being out of the way. Wear/Durability: It looks surprisingly good despite the fact it has not been babied. The wire clip (a normal wear point on solid clips), frn handle, and vg-10 blade all show virtually no wear. Function and looks are as good as new, maybe just smoother opening action. Size and weight: So light and small you'll forget you are carrying it clipped or free in your pocket. As opposed to other knives, this is one I feel free to throw in my pocket with keys. Forget it is there until I need it. You have to decide if this is big enough for your personal needs, but for the size I would say it is hard to beat. If you have notions of heroism, you probably want to size up. The size is also non-threatening to others, if that is something you run into. Blade: The edge has held up well. No difficulty sharpening on the sharpmaker or strop. The profile, like other spydercos slices nicely, which is a lot of the daily use case for most people. Sides show very little wear, some tiny scratches with a flashlight and a hard eye (could polish them out if I cared). Plastic handle?: Never had any issues or felt like it would flex too much or fail. Nice grip. Doesn't feel cheap to me, some might be bothered. Wasn't sure I liked it at first, but I'm a fan now, in this size knife at least. Grip: For the size it is suprising how full/secure of a grip you can get thanks to the finger grooves and jimping on the back of the blade. Compared to the delica I only have half a pinky less on the handle (delica fills the hand more though). The finger grooves also protect you from sliding toward the blade. The scales are grippy. Opening: Some have complaints about one handed opening. Do it all the time, don't get it. Closing one handed is not an issue either (though it is a two step move like any lock back). Maybe it just fits my hand well? Maybe back off on the tension screw? Looks: Personal preference, but I think it looks great. The best looks of the spyderco frn/polymer handle lineup imo. Some other frn knives look weird to me (even though I own and like them). Value: I just feel like it is overpriced, there are a lot of good budget knives out there. Yes the steel is nice, yes I have praised it highly, but practically/functionally you can get a knife in this smaller size range for half the price, and this knife is not twice as good. That said, i like this knife more, and I've easily gotten more value and use out of this per dollar than some other knives I own. I guess I'd say this, I wouldn't mind keeping another dragonfly around or a different blade steel, but price is just enough for me to hesitate (but if I did lose this one i would immediately replace it).

I confess. I'm a member of the EDC cult. I carry a knife every day. No, you won't get the secret password or handshake from me. Those are only conferred if you carry a knife for a year and a day without fail. I don't belong to the exalted orders. I'm not a warrior who carries a knife that can be opened instantly with one hand. (and who gets extra point from his beer buddies if his knife has a tanto, armor pearcing point) I'm not a woodsman who spits wood with his knife and is ready to skin a deer with his knife. I say he because, while women can join the cult, they mostly have better sense. I'm not a collector, who is often a member of the knife geek order. I don't own dozens of knives am not able to discuss the metalurgy of my knife blade. (okay, I'm a bit of a knife geek but mosly with kitchen knives). I am a member of the lowly pocket knife order who wants a small knife to use at humble tasks such as opening packages, letters, blister packs, freshness seals and the like. I use it for garden tasks like cutting twine or harvesting broccoli. I sharpen carpenter's pencils and trim window shims. I use my knife to clean my fingernails. Real pocket knives, not knives that slip into a back pocket with a clip, are small. Most of them have terrible ergonomics and are hard to hold while working with the blade. Many pocket knives don't have a blade lock and can fold onto a finger. I have a severed tendon in one finger for evidence. Many pocket knives are inexpensive and have cheap steel in the blades. The Spyderco Dragonfly II is a small, ergonomic, light pocket knife with excellent steel. It does have a clip, but that is easily removed to make the knife even more pocketable. The handle is durable and easy to grip. The Dragonfly easily handles all the day-to-day tasks I throw at it and holds a very sharp edge very well. The blade is short but that's what makes the knife pocketable. I've found it plenty long enough just about anything I've thrown at it. I've even used it to section apples. The marked curve of the blade makes the cutting edge equal that that of a bigger knife. If you want a bigger knife, go for it. If you want a big enough knife to handle everyday tasks. Look no further. I've found very few products to be as nearly a perfect fit to my needs as this knife.

写真は汚い手で申し訳ないですが、小さいのに持ちやすい！私の手が大して大きくないのもあるかもしれませんがしっかりホールドして切りたい物が切れます(主にダンボールしか切ってませんが…笑)。あとはカッコいいのでいちいち使うタイミングがあると嬉しくなります。ちょっとカッコつけて開けてみたり。お気に入りです！

Cómo todas las Spyderco, esta navaja rezuma calidad por todos lados. Su acero es magnífico, mantiene el filo sin problemas. Corta muy bien (hay que tener cuidado), y el tamaño de la hoja no es excesivo, puedes llevarla a diario sin problemas. La empuñadura es de G10, ligera y cómoda, ayudando a su manejo la zona dentada superior de la hoja. En cuanto a diseño, a la vista está, enamora a primera vista. Puede parecer cara, pero cuando la tienes en la mano comprendes el porqué. La recomiendo sin dudar.

I wrote a full review (with more photos) about my other version of this knife here: Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Salt Lightweight Rustproof Spyder Edge Knife - Yellow I bought this second one because I think for me this non-serrated version will work better for most uses. See that review for the full details, but in short: - Amazing 34g weight! - Opens with one hand. - Can be converted to a UK legal (non-locking, under 3 inches) knife with an excellent finger choil (round cutout under the blade) which is much safer than most other non-locking knives. - Razor sharp from the factory and the VG-10 steel holds its edge beautifully. - Comfortable to use. If you want something "stylish" then this plain edge version is better looking, with a beautiful flat grind (edge shape) and the Spyderco logo instead of the H1 logo. Not very visible in my photo, as it was taken on my phone. I did switch the handle colours, because the yellow goes well with the less aggressive looking plain edge version, so I'll have that as my non-locking one for use outdoors. The black handle and serrated edge both look slightly more threatening, even on such a small knife, so I'll keep that combo as a locking knife for indoor use. You can purchase this VG-10 steel version with an orange handle but I don't like that tone of orange, too bright, almost neon looking. If you want to add some colour, you can get Sugru rubber in many different colours, it will likely fit nicely into the pattern on the handle. For example, black handle with apple-green sugru could look nice and unique. Mine was about £60 here on Amazon, but check around, prices vary. On Heinnie I saw the serrated VG-10 black one for about £50 and serrated H1 yellow for about £53. I hope this is helpful.

Fácil de llevar y excelente calidad.

Ich bin total begeistert von diesem kleinen Spyderco Messer. Sauber verarbeitet, rasiermesserscharf und von der Haptik einfach genial. Das Dragonfly 2 ist eines der besten leichten und kompakten Taschenmesser. Sehr schöne Klingenform. Neben der Ergonomie bis hin zum Tragekomfort gibt es nichts, was nicht vorbildlich funktioniert. Im Gegensatz zu den billigen China Clonen Null Spiel am Verschluss oder in der gesamten Mechanik. Das Messer ist top verarbeitet und jeden Cent wert.
