About this item
- Dragonfly: The Dragonfly is a remarkably refined folding knife design that balances compact size with full-service cutting performance.
- Back Lock: This locking system is positioned on the back of the handle that uses a rocker arm that pivots in the center. A lug on one end of the arm engages a notch in the blade's tang to lock the blade open.
- Full-Flat Grind: This knife features a blade ground with flat bevels that extend from the spine all the way to the cutting edge. This grind reduces drag during cutting and decreases overall weight.
- Stainless Steel Handle: Solid Stainless Steel handle is extremely strong and provides an excellent surface for engraving. Steel containing a minimum of 12.5% chromium, making the steel resistant (not stain proof) to corrosion.
- Specifications: Closed Length (Inches): 3.22, Overall Length (Inches): 5.54, Blade Length (Inches):2.32, Blade Steel: VG-10, Grind: Full-Flat

Customers are satisfied with the sturdiness of the knife. They mention that it has a solid construction with no blade play, the blade is made of very fine quality VG-10 steel, and the materials are high-quality.

The grip has lots of ways to grip it and all feel secure. The locking mechanism is really strong.

I love how the Dragonfly and, specifically, its blade is so small that it is perceived solely as a utility tool and not a weapon. You can open this up in a Starbucks if you need to, and no one will give it or you a second look. That cannot be said of many knives, even ones that are considered small EDCs.
I also have the less expensive FRN version, which is basically a tough black plastic handle. They are very different. It must be noted that both of these knives do the exact same thing, with the exact same blade. On a strictly utilitarian basis, there is no reason to pay more for the G-10. However, they feel very different. The FRN version is so light as to be almost weightless. The G-10 is a solid, heavier knife with stainless steel liners and a nice G-10 handle (kind of a resin feel). Some people like the FRN version better. I prefer the G-10; my FRN sits in the drawer while the G-10 comes out with me often. I never edc the FRN version even though it is as capable as the G-10. The G-10 is solid, like a little tank. It feels great in the hand. There is a fun factor to the G-10 - you just enjoy using it. The FRN is, to me, more like a tool you keep in the drawer; it doesn't feel substantial or impressive. But again, it does the EXACT same thing as the G-10. It's really a matter of preference. But if you're wondering whether there's a difference between the two that justifies the price, the answer is Yes.
If you're looking for a very small utility knife you can carry around without scaring anyone or taking up much space in your pocket, this could be the one. But also check out the Benchmade 707, which gives you an extra inch of blade with very similar slicing capability, and a far superior deployment/lock-up system than the Dragonfly's back lock. (Although many people would say that the Dragonfly is much, MUCH cooler than the Benchmade, and I'd agree with that - there is a fun factor to the Dragonfly).
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.
