This little knife is handy in near every situation where you need a sharp edge to get your work done. It is Japanese style quality material and solid allowing for you to get the sharpest edge and easiest grind you are likely to find in any pocket-sized knife. It can literally be used for just about any task you might want it for. Great for cutting into most materials, carving and even skinning your catch when hunting. Perfect for camping gear and working with wood. It is solidly built and has several unique features that make it stand out, mainly its size. The small size of only 5&7/16” from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle often has big knife users skeptical at first glance, but after each person has gotten their hands on it to use, not a single one has found themselves disappointed. Where most people, including us, have a hard time saying something is flawless, this one seems to hold as close to that as one can get.

The blade to this knife is at first a very unimpressive 2&5/16” in length, but combined with its grip, and its quality, the opinion is quick to change. Unlike most smaller knives and even some larger ones, these ones handle actually has a place for your pinky to rest on the grip making it one of the most steady knives you will hold. The blade itself is made with a flat grind and has the VG-10 grade steel which makes it super grade quality for anyone who wants to get the best they can for a lower price. One of the finer features is that the blade is upgradeable with a little extra saving. You can choose to get the same knife with ZSP-189 quality grade as well. The shape is the same either way and holds a beautiful arrow-like look that appeals to many. Most have found that VG-10, however, is good enough for the task, and it can be sharpened again if needed. In fact, that was one of the things a lot of users found amazing, just how easy it was to keep sharp enough for their tasks without needing to go overboard on it. This knife has taken the title ‘perfect’ in some people’s opinions, and the fact that a few have found it hard to one hand deploy has been the only thing we could find- though there is a chance that those may have been counterfeit- so be cautious where you buy and who from.

While there are not any accessories per se, there is a choice between one grade of metal for the blade and another. There is also a choice in color for the handle. Both options may or may not cost a little extra to change and are not really accessories in the way that we normally call them. This knife really does not require extra things, however, since it is a pocket-based knife and closes up with its clip already on the handle itself. It is so light-weight that it does not need a pouch to carry it, you can slip it into your pocket easily and it won’t go sliding back out easily. It is a perfect knife for those who want to have something handy that does not require a lot of extra work, money, or accessories to take care of.

This has been praised to be one of the most durable small and lightweight blades available on the market. At only about 1.2 oz. many felt it would not be able to hold up to the tasks they might have it for, however, this pretty knife got everything done without dulling and without falling apart on the user, it holds up to tasks that most would normally use a larger knife for and did a fantastic job. In fact, it did so well on the tasks given that some customers swapped out carrying their usual big knife and pocket knife altogether and prefer to simply carry this one wherever they go instead. If that does not say something about how good you can expect this knife to perform, and how well it holds up, there probably is not much that will convince you to check it out. We found it to be eye-catching to say the least, after all, most who have a preference will not do a double take even after they try something out and it proves better than expected. So, to have a small knife kick out the larger knife on its performance and durability alone has us nodding in approval and agreeing that you may not be able to find something else this close to perfect. However, we have seen a few complaints on buyers who have said that they bought what appeared to be this knife but turned out to be a counterfeit- and on that note, they even gave a way to tell the two apart so that you can know you have the real thing and can expect the level of durability we are talking. The biggest way to tell Is by looking at the lettering on the blade, if it Is authentic it will be stamped into the steel, if it is a fake, it will be acid etched into the blade. So, there you go, if you have the real thing, you can’t get better.

At only 1.2 oz. this is one of the lightest blades you can carry, which makes its high performance and durability something that can truly inspire. Even most smaller knives have a much heavier weight and often cannot stand up to the tasks this one can. It is sharp and can be easily used for multiple style tasks without wearing out and will not make you feel like you are carrying a grenade in your pocket. Instead, many have said they can slide it into their pockets and almost forget it is there until it is needed, or they go to change clothing. In a world where the heavier the blade, the more you expect it to last, and the lighter it is the more fragile it seems, this one cuts out all the preconceived notions that we have. It simply stands out from all others to create a new standard when thinking of a smaller lightweight blade you can easily carry with you.

The blade has an unbelievably good finish for the material it is made from and gives off the feeling of something that has had a great deal more care put into that one would expect. It practically shines and yet has that burnished look that keeps it from being overly jeweled in appearance. With the company name stamped into each piece signifying its authenticity as a Spyderco blade, people have warned that you must check your purchase for the proper marking. The finish along with the stamp will assure you that what you have is the real deal since all copycats seem to have the logo acid etched into the metal rather than in the company’s true style. By doing so, the blade itself will be weaker and likely not look as good as the one truly produced by Spyderco. This blade also offers several colors for the handle, but all of them are sturdy and have a beautiful look to the knife as a whole So, no matter what you decide on, your blade should be perfect when it arrives, if not, check the seller and make sure that what they are selling is the authentic Dragonfly 2 and not a knock off version,

The lock on this particular blade is on the back end of the handle, which makes it easy to slide open with a single hand for most. It appears loose, but like the rest of the knife it is surprisingly sturdy and will not let your knife accidentally open and is easy to put away at the same time unlike may other knives with similar locks. We have found that often it is in putting a knife blade back that the lock is the part that ends up making it difficult, however, everyone seems quite pleased with the ease of this one. It does exactly what it should, make it easy to use. There is an upside as well that often does not seem to be considered when it comes to knives like this- it is easily ambidextrous. What we mean is, right or left handed, you will find it easy to open and close no matter which hand you use.

Ranging between $50 to $70 depending on the metal grade you want for the blade, you will get a much higher price attached. Though it seems pricey for a pocket knife, between the expert craftsmanship and the quality of the product, you aren’t likely to find something as good for the same or lesser price range. With all of the findings, we have come across we simply could not find anyone who was disappointed who actually got the real thing. It got ‘perfect’ across the board for most and it surprised us to see anything with such a word connected to it. We are very careful when we consider each and every product to the board, and we have to say, we find it very, very close. So. What we will say is that we find it to be a great fit for almost everyone and in the customer satisfaction with this one, we feel it is worth every cent spent and then some.

This particular one has all its bases covered and then some. You will find it hard to find any real complaints from those who have checked it out if anything you will only come across a multitude of satisfied customers. The brand itself has a great reputation for good blades, but even those who follow them for all needs in the area have said that by far this is the best one they have designed yet and should be considered by anyone looking to have a reliable blade on them. The only thing we have seen is mention of a slight wiggle to the lock, but it does not affect the blade at all. It still stays put until drawn for use, and the slight give actually makes it easier to put away. All-in-all this pocket knife simply has quality and craftsmanship written all over every single inch.
