SpydercoDragonfly Signature Knife with 2.32" VG-10 Steel Blade and Durable Stainless Steel Handle - PlainEdge - C28P

The media could not be loaded. Spyderco makes some exceptional knives. This Dragonfly Tattoo model with the stainless steel handle is so comfortable in the hand! I am a petite woman for reference. My hands and pockets are small. This is a compact blade that is easy to open and close, fits in womens pockets. The clip is meant to double as a money clip. Boy, oh boy is it sharp! Excellent ladies carry. My husband also thinks it's pretty cool, they have this model in different options. He has large man hands and can operate it easily as well. It does have some weight to it but it's so balanced it's comfortable to use. I'm not afraid to use it with some force behind it as it's so durable. The color of the print on the handle is brighter than I expected. It's shiny red, orange, yellow, purple, and blue. For the price, this is a sturdy, usable, and gorgeous knife. I feel the price is fair and would recommend this lil EDC to anyone that is old enough or skilled enough to handle an extremely sharp folder.

> Lightweight. (4 of 5)This pocket knife is great for everyday carry (EDC). The lightweight style of this blade creates a comfortable pocket carry; its like there is nothing in or attached to your pocket. There is an FRN (Fiberglass Reenforced Nylon) version of this knife which is lighter weight. However, even with the G-10 handles, this is super light! Keep in mind, it is a small knife too, but the weight is balanced nicely.> Wire Clip is O.K. (3.5 of 5)The wire clip allows this knife to carry deeply and looks nice too. The clip is strong but I the clip was caught on a chain link fence and I thought I was out a good deal of money. The wire clip caught the fence and clipped on. I am happy I found it. The wire clip is removable and I bent it into a tighter position and haven't had a problem since.> Comfortable Grip. (5 of 5)For such a small knife… I am purely impressed. The grip fits my hands perfectly (Large size hands) and holds in place. Once you have your grip, you will not have to worry about movement. The finger choil on the front it nicely placed and jimping on the knife is perfect for grip. The G-10 is a proven material and feels great and grips well also.> Couldn't be Sharper! (5 of 5)The knife comes RAZOR sharp out of the box! It was able to gut through paper and cardboard consistently as though it was butter. There is no need to re-sharpen or re-profile this blade out of the box. I have used this knife enough to re-sharpen the blade; it sharpens with ease and comes back to a razors edge.> Quality Design/Build (5 of 5)Look at the pictures. Spyderco makes great stuff. The quality is fantastic and I feel as though I can rely on this for EDC. However, the size of this knife is its only limitation. But that is to be expected from such a small knife. This knife fits its purpose for me: a reliable, low profile knife that I can EDC anywhere. This knife will not draw eyes in any excessively liberal establishment because of its small stature and clean looking design. This is not an intimidating blade. This is also a knife that is just fun to hold and to play with for those of you who like that sort of thing.>> Total Score >> 90% << (22.5 of 25) This knife gets a solid score that exceeds expectations. If you want it and have the money to buy it, buy it now. You won't regret purchasing this knife. Don’t forget top check the strength of your clip too - its an easy fix and you don’t want to regret not doing it.

I just got this knife in the mail. I was hesitant based on some people writing negative reviews on fit and finish. I am glad to say that I have absolutely no issues on the fit and finish if this knife! It was also sharp enough to shave with (which I did) right outta the box, which is a nice upside.I was torn between this G10 model and the much cheaper FRN model. The G10 has metal liners and the FRN is one molded peice of durable lightweight plastic. FRN feels super cheap in my hand, like a gas station knife. There is a guy who makes g10 replacement handles for the FRN model, but the total would have been $100.In the end I selected this to gain a bit of extra heft, and the option to replace the G10 scales with some african knobthorn I have. This knife is heavier than the FRN model. I think that is a good thing. I am very pleased with how it feels in hand. I have size XL hands, and I can get a full four finger grip. I will specify that this grip is a delicate work grip, not a ham fisted chopping grip. My thumb rests agaisnt the jimping on the top curve perfectly. My index finger on the bottom jimped coil. The remaining fingers sit on the lower portion of the handle.As for other bits about the knife. The spydie hole is not too sharp, but not too smooth. I cannot flick it out with my middle finger in the classic spydie flick but it is the first spydie I own, so theres that. I can flick it out with my thumb, though it does scratch my thumbnail up a bit.The pocket clip is a heavy duty wire and seems durable. My only complaint about this knife centers around the clip. It is tensioned very tightly against the scale. The G10 is very rough, similar to 300-400 grit sandpaper. This makes it next to impossible to clip onto my pockets. I plan to sand down the G10 scale on the clip side to be smooth so it doesn't cause this problem. However, I shouldn't have to modify a $120 dollar knife.Changing the G10 out for some classy african hardwood is an aesthetic change I was planning on anyway, just to be able to dress it up when I want. The G10 is excellent and more than serviceable. It also looks great. It's just too rough on the clip side. Either that or the clip is too tight given the roughness of the scale.
