About this item

  • Constant Quality of Improvement: Recently we applied C.Q.I. to the classic Dragonfly creating a new Dragonfly 2. The Dragonfly was one of Spyderco's original lightweight knives and helped to introduce the use of FRN Handles.
  • High Performance: The Dragonfly's success is largely due to its mid-size blade and Ergonomic handle that features a front-finger choil and spine cusp.
  • Ergonomic: Designed as a carry: friendly folder, it comes with a left/right-hand tip-up wire clip, patented Bi-Directional Texturing on the handle, spine and choil jimping and screw-together handle construction.
  • Superior Quality: The VG-10 blade has a high-performance flat-grind and is available with a PlainEdge configuration.
  • Pocket-Friendly: The Dragonfly 2 Lightweight focuses around features which make it Ergonomically comfortable including positioning the Spyderco Round Hole in precise relation to the blade's pivot for the smoothest blade opening.

Dragonfly 2

RELIABLE HIGH PERFORMANCE

Left/Right Tip-Up CarryThe Dragonfly concentrates all the features of a full-sized folding knife into a compact, pocket-friendly cutting tool. Its pocket clip, Spyderco Round Hole and sturdy back lock mechanism provide convenient carry, one-handed operation and serious functionality. The refined ergonomics of the handle and textured index-finger choil provide a comfortable, secure grip with all sizes of hands and the flat-ground blade cuts with authority far beyond its size. The Dragonfly is available with several different handle choices, including stainless steel, foliage green G-10 with stainless liners, textured FRN, and even a “tattoo” version with etched, colorized artwork on stainless steel. High-performance VG-10 stainless steel is the standard blade steel for most versions.

Customers like the size of the sporting good. They say it fits well in their big hands, is not too small, and is small enough to carry all the time. It has a small-medium size blade, and it clips down into their pocket. Customers say the knife is ergonomic, has VG10 that can be easily sharpened, and the handle is durable and easy to grip.

Customers are satisfied with the sharpness of the product. They mention that it is super sharp out of the package, rust-resistant, and easily sharpened. The VG-10 steel makes a great blade, and some say it's better than the ZDP-189. The light weight makes it a very nice EDC knife, especially for office use. It takes a razor edge and holds it reasonably well. The knives are well-made and are a good option for those looking for a small, solid, utilitarian knife.

"...light-duty construction are more than adequate for my uses, and it is SHARP! Easy to touch up when needed, also; the VG-10 steel is a good choice...." Read more

Customers like the quality of the sporting good. They say it's well made, the steel is nice, and it holds and edge well. The knife is also extremely capable and fills the EDC role perfectly.

Customers appreciate the weight of the sporting good. They mention that it is extremely light, and the handle is much lighter than the G10 handle on their other Spyderco knife. This makes it easy to carry and helps keep the weight down.

"...Size and weight: So light and small you'll forget you are carrying it clipped or free in your pocket...." Read more

Customers like the grip of the sporting goods. They say that the grip is sturdy, the clip is discrete, and holds the knife secure. The ramp and choil make for a great grip in hand when cutting. The back lock is sturdy and won't slip on you. The handle aids in maintaining purchase.

"...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...." Read more

"...My only problem was in getting used to opening it; the handle IS great for holding it, but is a little small for gracefully opening it one-..." Read more

"...of the wire clip seem to be kind to clothing but durable and provide a secure grip on thin and thick material...." Read more

"...It rides fine, a tad high, but then again I prefer a knife to absolutely disappear. What I'm really talking about here is pocket "real estate"...." Read more

43 customers mention30 positive13 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of opening the sporting goods. Some mention that the thumbhole opening mechanism is far easier on their fingers than a thumbscrew, and even someone mentions that it's a fast way to open the knife with one hand. The opening and closing mechanisms are ambidextrous, and the pocket clip can be reversed, so it is easy to carry on both sides. However, others say that it takes two hands to open it, and that the handle is too small to open easily with their fat arthritic fingers. The lock takes a fair amount of force to release, and when they lever the blade closed, it doesn't lock properly.

"...mechanism is a little tight out of the box, but it locks the blade open with some authority...." Read more

"...It is easy to open with one hand using the thumb hole.These are all elements that the Dragonfly 2 shares with the Sage 2...." Read more

"...Also, because the handle is so small, it makes unlocking and closing a bit tricky...." Read more

"...The thumb hole works well to flip it open, but because the knife does not have the heft of, say, the paramilitary, you will not be able to easily..." Read more

Customers are satisfied with the appearance of the pocket knife. They mention that it feels good in hand, looks good, and is extremely sharp. The pocket clip is well designed, and the dragonfly pattern is totally nice. The jimping is beautifully cut, and it creates a comfortable grip.

"...Looks: Personal preference, but I think it looks great. The best looks of the spyderco frn/polymer handle lineup imo...." Read more

"...When open, the handle-blade silhouette is quite pleasing...." Read more

"...It's strong, durable, and light. But pretty it isn't...." Read more

"...a 5 star knife, because it fills the EDC role perfectly and is so well designed, but I have to be fair because if this knife is a 5 then what would..." Read more

35 customers mention29 positive6 negative

Customers like the clip on the sporting good. They say it's good, excellent, and a nice touch. Customers also appreciate that it can be attached to either side of the knife and that it works well. They also like that the clip can be removed or reversed for left-hand carry, and that the tip can be repositioned.

"...The clip can be removed or reversed for left-hand carry...." Read more

"...It even has a very usable, deep pocket, wire clip that can mount on either left or right side, but only with the tip up.Quality build?..." Read more

"...I don't feel like it will be an issue at all.The clip doesn't dig into your palm on the rear, either, something I was worried about...." Read more

"...The clip is very clippy, maybe a bit too tight but it'll loosen up as it breaks in.Overall, very nice knife...." Read more

It Ain't Cheap, But It's Nice.
I took the belt clip off and put a short lanyard on it (makes it easier to get out of my pocket and less chance of loosing it). I carry it every day (and I do not carry much, so that's saying something). Holds an edge well (and comes with a decent edge already on it). Fits well in my big hands. I mostly use it to open boxes, but I've used it to cut thin wire and worse. I've abused it enough to chip the edge a small bit. Ground it back and cleaned it up and it was good as new. It fell out of my pocket and was lost in the yard for a month. After a month in the cold and rain and snow, it seemed none the worse for wear when I found it.

Cómo todas las Spyderco, esta navaja rezuma calidad por todos lados. Su acero es magnífico, mantiene el filo sin problemas. Corta muy bien (hay que tener cuidado), y el tamaño de la hoja no es excesivo, puedes llevarla a diario sin problemas. La empuñadura es de G10, ligera y cómoda, ayudando a su manejo la zona dentada superior de la hoja. En cuanto a diseño, a la vista está, enamora a primera vista. Puede parecer cara, pero cuando la tienes en la mano comprendes el porqué.
La recomiendo sin dudar.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST. POCKET. KNIFE. EVER.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2017
I wrote a full review (with more photos) about my other version of this knife here:
[[ASIN:B00507AJI6 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.
