Review: My favorite EDC knife. - 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.
Review: A Perfect Design - This knife, the Dragonfly 2, is definitely a five star product and would deserve a ten if that were an available choice. The blade, the handle, and the opening and closing mechanism would be difficult—if not impossible—to improve. It won't do all jobs that can be done with a knife but it can do a surprisingly wide range of them. The following information covers some of the details. I had used three Spyderco models previously, the most recent a ZPD-189 bladed Delica model, which was ideal for most of my purposes. However for some types of slicing the grind line is too low (even after I had raised it to the bottom of the circular finger hole). This makes the tip of the blade too thick, particularly for one particular need. I was previously able to finish off incomplete corners when cutting photograph mats with the very thin point of a Leek blade instead of carrying a razor blade for that purpose. The wide, thin, flat grind of the Dragonfly blade does job nicely and the wideness—heel to edge distance—of the tip area provides reassuring strength. I've used the Dragonfly for about a week and still don't know how its designers could build such a capable knife that could be so easily carried. Though I'm still getting to know it, I have found that so far it handles everything I generally need a knife for. It's useful for minor cooking chores—though not ideal for chopping vegetables or slicing tomatoes. It's good for cutting paper or small rope or cord, separating glue-attachments on envelopes or cartons, opening packages, etc. Sixty or seventy years ago I would have wanted several folding blades in my pocket with thicker blades with different shapes and one blade for rough jobs that I would hate to subject the Dragonfly to. Around the house I can attach the Dragonfly to the placket of my shirt front, or clip it like a pen in a shirt pocket. The rounded edges of the wire clip seem to be kind to clothing but durable and provide a secure grip on thin and thick material. When open, the handle-blade silhouette is quite pleasing. Unlike many other Spyderco blades the placement of the finger hole doesn't necessitate a humped-back appearance. The opportunities for hand positions are well planned and this knife could serve as a large scalpel if the necessity arises. I have several suggestions. Keep it sharp. I would use a razor hone if I didn't have several of the McBinn ultra-fine stones. A rag wheel with a green polishing compound is ideal if a shop is available but rag wheels can be dangerous. Don't go near it with a diamond stone unless the blade is damaged and needs reshaping. My blade is VG-10, easy to sharpen, easy on the budget, and adequate if the knife is frequently touched up and not mistreated. I use a knife fob on all small knives that have a hole for one. I make mine of small cord allowing one or two finger widths of length between the end of the handle and the terminal fob button or knob. This button or knob can be buttoned through a loop on a wrist lanyard (think fishing), a short lanyard attached to the belt to back-up the clip (bushwhacking), or to quickly access the knife. In addition, on short handles, the pinkie can wrap around it for added security.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be Sure to Keep Track of this Great Knife
*by T***H on January 24, 2021*

This thing is lightweight - as in, I've carried a knife every day for years and I still forget to check my pocket for a knife when I'm carrying it. Its blade is durable enough to trim a 1/2" branch from a christmas tree (tested) and retain a razor edge. It's small and lightweight to the point that the second day I had it I lost it after putting it back in my pocket. Turns out, it went through the wash in my pocket. I found it still clipped to my pocket, still closed, and still razor sharp and rust-free, looking like the day I got it. 10/10 knife, would buy again Pros: Very sharp blade Good edge retention Solid pocket clip Very lightweight + small (fits perfectly in watch pocket) Handle scales offer best grip of any knife I've had Ergonomic grip fits well in my large hands Cons: Small+lightweight enough that the knife is easily lost Sharp enough out of the box that if you aren't used to extremely sharp knives, you'll easily cut yourself
