Spyderco Dragonfly 2 5.36-Inch Lightweight and Foldable PlainEdge Orange Knife with FRN Handles

Originally released in 1994, the Dragonfly helped pioneer the use of an index-finger ‘choil’ that allows a small knife to provide hand-filling big-knife performance. Also known as a ‘50/50 choil,’ it provides a safe, solid purchase for the index finger and positions the hand further forward on the knife for superior leverage and control. The Dragonfly was also one of Spyderco’s original lightweight knives and helped to introduce the use of injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handles. The current version of the lightweight Dragonfly, Spyderco Dragonfly 2 PlainEdge Orange Knife, has evolved to include a reversible deep-pocket wire clip that provides ambidextrous tip-up carry. It features a versatile leaf-shaped blade ground from VG-10 stainless steel and a sturdy back lock mechanism that locks the blade securely in the open position.

Fiberglass-Reinforced-Nylon Handles

This version of the Dragonfly 2 boasts a bright orange FRN handle that makes the knife easy to find and hard to lose, even in low-visibility conditions. The 5.36-inch knife has a blade length of 2.3 inches with a thickness of 0.098 inches. It offers a full-flat grind and features a back lock.
