It is small, completely stainless, just waiting to be engraved or personalized. The Dragonfly makes a highly thoughtful gift for the person who thinks they have everything. The flat and smooth handle surface is ideal for engraving groomsmen's names or telling Dad 'thank you' on Father's Day.
Made of premium VG-10 stainless, the leaf-shaped blade is flat-ground with a thin-honed performance cutting edge. Poised above the Spyderco Round Hole is a point to set the thumb on, which provides purchase and control while cutting. The three-screw metal pocket clip situates the folder for tip-up carry.

The blade centering is excellent. The spring is stiff but the action is smooth. Lockup more than you could ask for a knife this size.
The thing just feels precision. I have more practical edc blades but this one is by far the nicest. If I ever go somewhere with a nice mechanical dress watch, this is the knife I'm bringing along.
Hard to describe how petite it is. Doesn't look that small in pictures of people's hands but it certainly feels small in my own hands.
I was torn between this G10 model and the much cheaper FRN model. The G10 has metal liners and the FRN is one molded peice of durable lightweight plastic. FRN feels super cheap in my hand, like a gas station knife. There is a guy who makes g10 replacement handles for the FRN model, but the total would have been $100.
In the end I selected this to gain a bit of extra heft, and the option to replace the G10 scales with some african knobthorn I have. This knife is heavier than the FRN model. I think that is a good thing. I am very pleased with how it feels in hand. I have size XL hands, and I can get a full four finger grip. I will specify that this grip is a delicate work grip, not a ham fisted chopping grip. My thumb rests agaisnt the jimping on the top curve perfectly. My index finger on the bottom jimped coil. The remaining fingers sit on the lower portion of the handle.
As for other bits about the knife. The spydie hole is not too sharp, but not too smooth. I cannot flick it out with my middle finger in the classic spydie flick but it is the first spydie I own, so theres that. I can flick it out with my thumb, though it does scratch my thumbnail up a bit.
The pocket clip is a heavy duty wire and seems durable. My only complaint about this knife centers around the clip. It is tensioned very tightly against the scale. The G10 is very rough, similar to 300-400 grit sandpaper. This makes it next to impossible to clip onto my pockets. I plan to sand down the G10 scale on the clip side to be smooth so it doesn't cause this problem. However, I shouldn't have to modify a $120 dollar knife.
Changing the G10 out for some classy african hardwood is an aesthetic change I was planning on anyway, just to be able to dress it up when I want. The G10 is excellent and more than serviceable. It also looks great. It's just too rough on the clip side. Either that or the clip is too tight given the roughness of the scale.
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).
