Dragonfly 2 Folding Pocket Knife with 2.2" VG-10 Steel Blade and FRN Handle - EDC Knife for Men and Women, Perfect for Hunting, Tactical, Camping, Survival, Hiking - PlainEdge - C28POR2

Before Reading the LAST paragraph below, keep POINTS 1-4 in mind regarding configurations: 1. DRAGON FLY 2: w/ VG-10 Steel, Plain or Serrated edge: This knife is good for everyone as the steel holds and edge well, and resharpens easily enough, it is also relatively corrosions resistant. 2. DRAGON FLY 2: w/ ZDP 189 Steel, Plain edge: FIRST, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT KNIFE: I have not seen it offered in a Serrated edge but they my offer it I am not sure: This knife is ONLY GOOD FOR THOSE WHO ARE EXPERTS AT SHARPENING KNIVES. This steel is extremely hard and holds and edge exceptionally well. The disadvantage is that it takes someone who is a very skilled sharpener to resharpen and work with this steel. It is 3% carbon so it is susceptible to corrosion if not cared for properly. 3. DRAGON FLY 2: w/ H1 Steel, Plain or Serrated edge: This knife is good for everyone. This steel is advertised as RUST PROOF. This steel is relatively hard and holds an edge well, and resharpens easily enough. 4. DRAGON FLY 2: w/ Aogami Blue Super Steel (Spyderco does Sprint Runs with this metal), Plain or Serrated edge: This knife is ONLY GOOD FOR THOSE WHO ARE EXPERTS AT SHARPENING KNIVES. This steel is extremely hard and holds and edge exceptionally well. The disadvantage is that it takes someone who is a very skilled sharpener to resharpen and work with this steel. It is a high carbon steel so it is susceptible to corrosion if not cared for properly. However. Syperco counters this by sandwiching the Aogami Blue Super Steel between a layer of 420J Steel on each side. This protects the Aogami steel from chipping, breaking, and corrosion. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHOICES. IT DOES TAKE SOME EFFORT TO SHARPEN CORRECTLY AS NOTED ABOVE, BUT THE RESULTS ARE WORTH THE EFFORT! NOW, WRITTEN BELOW ARE MY GENERAL COMMENTS ABOUT THE KNIFE IN GENERAL. THE ABOVE FACTS ARE SPECIFIC TO THE DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS OF STEELS AND BLADE TYEPES OFFERED. I am a huge fan of the Spyderco Dragonfly 2 in any of its configurations. This is a smaller knife that does not know it is a smaller knife. Its ergonomics allow it to be used as a larger knife. Its small size allow it to be used as an excellent ED (Every Day Carry). You can take this knife out in public, and because of its smaller size, most people do not generally look at you like you are evil or at looking to do harm to others. This knife has a generous blade and its light weight of 1.1 oz. makes it a joy to carry as you can easily forget that it is even in your pocket. The pocket clip allows for easy deployment and can be switched for left or right carry or you can simply take the clip off and carry it in a pocket. This knife can even be used on a keychain or a neckless due to its light weight. I own many expensive knives, but this relatively inexpensive knife has become on elf my favorite knives. NO MATTER WHICH STEEL YOU CHOSE, THIS KNIVE IS CAPABLE OF EDGES FOR HAIR WHITTLING LEVELS OF SHARPNESS!!! THIS IS AN EXCELLENT KNIFE NO MATTER WHICH STEEL OF BLAKE CONFIGURATION YOU CHOSE. IT IS HARD TO GO WRONG WITH THE PURCHASE OF THIS KNIFE!!!

I've been carrying the Spyderco Dragonfly 2 for a little while now, and I have to say that it's quickly becoming my favorite EDC knife. It's super lightweight and so small that it fits perfectly in the coin pocket of my jeans (see attached photo). The blade came razor sharp right out of the box and has held its edge well. One thing I really appreciate is the quality of the design and construction. The handle texture strikes a good balance: tactile enough to give me a secure grip but not so rough that it's uncomfortable to use, even for an extended period of time. The bright, almost neon orange color looks cool and makes it easy to spot if I ever drop or misplace it. Unfolding the knife is smooth and effortless with the signature Spyderco thumb hole, and the lockup is solid without any blade play. I've used it for everything from opening boxes to cutting through some tougher materials, and it's performed flawlessly every time. It's definitely not the blade I'd choose for batoning through firewood, but that's just not the sort of task for which it's designed. It's a bit pricey, but Spyderco is known for making quality blades and I certainly feel like I got what I paid for. I could see the small size being a downside for folks with hands on the larger end of the spectrum. Mine are mid-sized, so that's not an issue for me, but others might want to carry something larger (assuming it's legal to do so in their area). Overall, I don't think I could be much happier with my purchase. The Dragonfly 2 is about as close to a perfect EDC knife as I can imagine. Whether you're a knife enthusiast or just need a reliable tool for everyday use, I highly recommend giving this little guy a try!

Awesome, very lightweight and sharp right out of the box.

Top line: The smallest, toughest, sharpest quick deployment EDC knife you will find Good: Wow is all I can say on this knife (not literally, or the review would end here). I bought it because I wanted to go as small as possible while still having a highly functioning Every Day Carry (EDC) pocketknife. Being a fan of other Spyderco knives I've owned, I gave this one a shot and have been blow away. Everything on this knife is pretty much perfect. The 2" leaf head has a razor sharp edge out of the box that has held almost completely over the 18 months I've carried it. The standard Spyderco deployment hole is as effective as ever, much faster and more precise that your typical flipper/thumb peg options. No liner lock thank goodness; a nice handle release on the back. Body itself is grippy without being abrasive. The VG-10 steel offers great performance/value. One probably overlooked and underappreciated feature: the over and under jimping of the head makes it very hard for this knife to slip in your grip, even with the small handle. Great work all around on this one, Spyderco. I got this knife in the orange color, and that makes it almost impossible to lose. Before you opt for simple black, consider living a little (orange and yellow typically run a little cheaper also!). Bad: Not much here. Probably a tad pricey for the average buyer, but worth it for the lasting value IMO. Also, the blade head is a little short, as advertised--you may get limited performance on some tasks that require a longer edge. This should be obvious if you go into this purchase with your eyes open. Just the slightest hint of play when locked, which I'll take in exchange for not having a liner lock. Other: If you are planning for your survivalist trip alone in the wild or some wannabe Rambo type entering a war zone, you probably want to go with something a little bit more substantial. But for around the town, on the job use, this knife is terrific.

スパイダルコの定番品は使いやすいです。小さい順にレディバグ、ドラゴンフライ、デリカ、エンデューラ、ポリスとこのあたりはバージョンやハンドル、鋼材問わず外れはないと思っています。

Gewohnt gutes Messer. Liegt gut in(Großer) Hand. Verschluss und Klappmechanismus laufen butterweich. Scharf ist es ab Werk auch.

Extraordinaria pequeña navaja. Es perfecta para ciertos usos que requieren una hoja pequeña pero con un corte de bisturí. La única pega es que resulta un tanto cara para lo pequeña que es.

Que dire de spyderco à part que ça respire la qualité !

c'est le premier couteau Spyderco que j'ai acheté il y a un peu plus d'un mois.Depuis il ne me quitte plus, d'apparence ludique ,il est d'une redoutable efficacité,je ne pensais pas qu'un couteau pouvait avoir le tranchant d'un cutter,pour couper plastique,emballage carton,ficelle,ou peler une pomme,tellement léger avec 33 grammes,il se fait oublier au fond de la poche. aucun jeu dans la lame,bonne prise en main,la finition est exemplaire.pour l'instant je n'ai pas eu besoin de l’affûter, le test de la feuille de papier est toujours probant. certes le prix est élevé mais il est tellement beau... si je le perd, mon prochain couteau EDC sera surement un Spyderco. (sur le catalogue Spyderco 2016 ,il est affiché a 89,95 $.)
