SpydercoDragonfly 2 Lightweight Signature Knife with 2.28" Saber-Ground VG-10 Steel Blade and Emerson Opener - PlainEdge - C28PGYW2

It's perfect,it's my second one.

Been carrying the dragonfly for over 25 years. It’s small enough to not even notice you have it in your pocket. Yet big enough to cut any projects you may have. The Emerson opener version makes it easy to open when you are multitasking with your hands.

The Dragonfly 2 hawkbill was long awaited after many requests on the Spyderco forum. This little knife delivers great ergonomics in a small package and the teeth make it a workhorse of a small knife! Pros: ergos, H1 steel is rust proof, so light u forget it's there. Cons: what happened to choil jimping? Choil is slightly shallower than standard dfly to accommodate the blade shape. I might knock off half a star for the missing jumping; otherwise, this is another great variation of what I believe is the best small knife you can own. Clam packs and zip ties beware, this knife means business. Won't be a primary carry, but I can see this being a perfect compliment to a plain edge Spydie for a lot of days to come. 4.5/5 for me.Update: Lost this knife, buying it again. Proven itself to be a great little knife especially for tough cutting jobs. Really is a great secondary carry to go along with a larger plain edge knife.

High quality craftsmaship, as expected

As the legendary musician David Yarritu said "I may be tiny, but I'm strong!"Little knife is little, but great knife is great. This Dragonfly weighs next-to-nothing and fits in a watch pocket but it is very ergonomic and practical. The quality of this Japanese-made Spyderco is exceptional and the saber grind is razor sharp out-of-the-box. While the Emerson wave looks comical on a keychain-sized blade, it works perfectly (pro tip: add a short, lanyard or paracord fob to improve the grip on the draw). My knife (which was manufactured in November, 2019) has Sal Glesser's maker's mark on the opposite side of the Sypderco logo; this is a new revision, not shown in the product photo.As Hello Kitty says "small gift, big smile."

pocket self opening feature not as useful as I had hoped. Knife overall is good little knife, blade surprising useful for its size.

I love this knife. Perfect lightweight pocket knife for self defense. Only problem is the rough texture of the handle makes it harder to slide out of your pocker/waist when using the clip. Tricky for quick draw. I just keep it in my pocket. Well worth the price.

I was torn between this knife and the Lil' Native. I'll eventually need both, but I very much love this knife. The Emerson hook has taken some getting used to, but it's quite satisfying to pull this out of the pocket and hear the snap of it locking open in one fluid motion. It has a few other ways to deploy, by using the thumb, or one's middle finger ("spidey-flick!"), or even upside-down using the ring finger, so it's a pleasure to fidget with. The blade came razor sharp and gets frequent use.This is my first in what will probably be a series of Spyderco knife purchases.
