Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Compact Plain Edge Knife

The best knife of its size I have ever owned. Unbelievably light weight in your pocket. It has an incredibily sharp blade. After 3 months of use it still holds its edge.

I wrote a full review (with more photos) about my other version of this knife here: Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Salt Lightweight Rustproof Spyder Edge Knife - Yellow I bought this second one because I think for me this non-serrated version will work better for most uses.See that review for the full details, but in short:- Amazing 34g weight!- Opens with one hand.- Can be converted to a UK legal (non-locking, under 3 inches) knife with an excellent finger choil (round cutout under the blade) which is much safer than most other non-locking knives.- Razor sharp from the factory and the VG-10 steel holds its edge beautifully.- Comfortable to use.If you want something "stylish" then this plain edge version is better looking, with a beautiful flat grind (edge shape) and the Spyderco logo instead of the H1 logo. Not very visible in my photo, as it was taken on my phone.I did switch the handle colours, because the yellow goes well with the less aggressive looking plain edge version, so I'll have that as my non-locking one for use outdoors.The black handle and serrated edge both look slightly more threatening, even on such a small knife, so I'll keep that combo as a locking knife for indoor use.You can purchase this VG-10 steel version with an orange handle but I don't like that tone of orange, too bright, almost neon looking. If you want to add some colour, you can get Sugru rubber in many different colours, it will likely fit nicely into the pattern on the handle. For example, black handle with apple-green sugru could look nice and unique.Mine was about £60 here on Amazon, but check around, prices vary. On Heinnie I saw the serrated VG-10 black one for about £50 and serrated H1 yellow for about £53.I hope this is helpful.

Awesome pocket knife razor sharp really light and strong i am very happy with it i will buy the Delica 4 soon too .i’m impressed well done Spyderco thank you amazon

Perfect little pocket knife and razor sharp out of the box.....

Superb little pocket knife. Extremely sharp when received and easily sharpened back to that condition. Keeps it's edge well

Great knife, fast shipping

Paid the extra special low price of £45.30 for this (typically >£60). Even at that it's too dear for what it is. Yes, the ergonomics are good, it comes well-sharpened, and the blade stock is nice and thin; but for a plastic handle, an impractical pocket-clip and not much steel, the price seems over the top.

I ordered a used version from the warehouse only to discover that some imbecile had swapped out the VG-10 blade for an H1 blade from the Salt version and returned it to Amazon. The size of the H1 is slightly out and they hadn't swapped the back lock or any other hardware so it was a crap finish and was put back together incorrectly.I promptly returned it so be careful when ordering the plain edge version of this knife as you'll probably end up with this same model yourself.

Fácil de llevar y excelente calidad.

Una de las Spydercos que más me gustan para llevar en el bolsillo a todos sitios.Muy ligera y con un tamaño discreto y, a la vez, suficientemente útil para casi todo. Yo prefiero llevarla sin clip: aún más cómoda en el bolsillo.Sobre su fortaleza al carecer de forros... ningún problema. No los necesita para nada. Las navajas sirven para cortar, no para apalancar. Los materiales y ajustes con los que está hecha esta pieza son de primera, tanto en su calidad como en su durabilidad. Así que tendrás navaja para toda la vida. La tuya, la de tus hijos y la de tus nietos...

Quality construction, very sharp, easy to carry all day.

Syderco Dragonfly 2 är en liten och smidig fickkniv. Brukar växla mellan denna och Fällknivens U4. Använder den mest för att öppna förpackningar / kartonger, skära sönder kartonger innan dessa ska ner å återvinningen och liknande enkla sysslor. Det lilla bladet är fullt tillräckligt och handtaget ger ett bra grepp och underlättar arbetet. Samtidig tar den nästan ingen plats i fickan.

Final conclusion: I'll give you this first, if I lost this knife, i would immediately order another, no question, no comparison shopping.Usage: Have used this regularly for over 4 years (among other knives). Great for daily tasks and being out of the way.Wear/Durability: It looks surprisingly good despite the fact it has not been babied. The wire clip (a normal wear point on solid clips), frn handle, and vg-10 blade all show virtually no wear. Function and looks are as good as new, maybe just smoother opening action.Size and weight: So light and small you'll forget you are carrying it clipped or free in your pocket. As opposed to other knives, this is one I feel free to throw in my pocket with keys. Forget it is there until I need it. You have to decide if this is big enough for your personal needs, but for the size I would say it is hard to beat. If you have notions of heroism, you probably want to size up. The size is also non-threatening to others, if that is something you run into.Blade: The edge has held up well. No difficulty sharpening on the sharpmaker or strop. The profile, like other spydercos slices nicely, which is a lot of the daily use case for most people. Sides show very little wear, some tiny scratches with a flashlight and a hard eye (could polish them out if I cared).Plastic handle?: Never had any issues or felt like it would flex too much or fail. Nice grip. Doesn't feel cheap to me, some might be bothered. Wasn't sure I liked it at first, but I'm a fan now, in this size knife at least.Grip: For the size it is suprising how full/secure of a grip you can get thanks to the finger grooves and jimping on the back of the blade. Compared to the delica I only have half a pinky less on the handle (delica fills the hand more though). The finger grooves also protect you from sliding toward the blade. The scales are grippy.Opening: Some have complaints about one handed opening. Do it all the time, don't get it. Closing one handed is not an issue either (though it is a two step move like any lock back). Maybe it just fits my hand well? Maybe back off on the tension screw?Looks: Personal preference, but I think it looks great. The best looks of the spyderco frn/polymer handle lineup imo. Some other frn knives look weird to me (even though I own and like them).Value: I just feel like it is overpriced, there are a lot of good budget knives out there. Yes the steel is nice, yes I have praised it highly, but practically/functionally you can get a knife in this smaller size range for half the price, and this knife is not twice as good. That said, i like this knife more, and I've easily gotten more value and use out of this per dollar than some other knives I own. I guess I'd say this, I wouldn't mind keeping another dragonfly around or a different blade steel, but price is just enough for me to hesitate (but if I did lose this one i would immediately replace it).
