Spyderco Dragonfly 2 C28POR2 - VG-10 Blade - Orange FRN Handle

One of the most popular Spyderco knives of all time, the Dragonfly was originally released in 1994. It helped pioneer the use of an index-finger “choil” that allows a small knife to provide hand-filling big-knife performance. Known by many as a “50/50 choil,” the Dragonfly provides a safe, solid purchase for the index finger and positions the hand further forward on the knife for superior leverage and control. The Dragonfly was also one of Spyderco’s original lightweight knives and helped to introduce the use of injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handles.

The current version of the lightweight Dragonfly, the Dragonfly 2, has evolved to include a reversible deep-pocket wire clip that provides ambidextrous tip-up carry. It features a versatile leaf-shaped blade ground from VG-10 stainless steel and a sturdy back lock mechanism that locks the blade securely in the open position.

This latest version boasts a bright orange FRN handle that makes the knife easy to find and hard to lose, even in low-visibility conditions.

    "nutnfancy" is spot-on about this knife!

    For those who enjoy Spyderco knives, and even for those who have not yet had the pleasure, if you have not yet discovered the Dragonfly, you're missing out big time. This knife has all of the qualities that a small knife should have: small, extremely lightweight, sufficiently large blade, easy clips into a pocket, and with a comfortable handle that fills the hand without disappearing into it. What really sets this knife apart are its jimped choil and thumb ramp, the use of which provide a secure grip on the knife, with the remaining three fingers holding the handle proper. Also, because it's currently priced under $50, it is a no-brainer purchase.

    Perhaps best of all, this outstanding cutting tool is now available in orange! (I tend to discover knives when they are offered with orange handles.)

    The blade steel, VG-10, is excellent, as is its locking mechanism, which is the same as used on Spyderco's proven Delica and Endura models, and which can be opened and closed using one hand.

    Needless to say, I wish I had discovered this knife earlier, but am very glad that I now have one. It will get many years of use.
