Description
It seems like small knives get respect equivalent to their size, very little. Most people wouldn’t look at a subcompact lightweight car and think “high-performance vehicle”. That first estimation could change when it’s revealed that clown car is disproportionately packing 350 horsepower and a high-speed racing package.
Another example of stature not accurately representing ability is a Spyderco Dragonfly. Its cutting ability is unequal to its diminutive package and innocuous name. It kicks off with premium components like VG-10 blade steel and a G-10 foliage green handle. The VG-10 is tooled into a full flat-grind 2-1/4” long blade with a spine cusp jutting out the top where the thumb naturally settles itself for control over the cutting edge. The G-10 handle is ergonomically blueprinted so when held and used the knife feels and performs like a larger tool. Even the positioning of the Spyderco Round Opening Hole in relation to the pivot is tweaked for smooth opening and hitting all the correct pressure points in the hand. Blade and handle geometry create a series of grip angles with a purposeful flat shelf at the base where the pinkie finger rides as a leverage point.

- Great knifeReview by James

Had it for a year or so now, great steel and the G10 handle scales feel good. Would certainly recommend it. (Posted on 19 March 2017)Rating

- Joyful Review by Maybuz

As others have mentioned, this is a 'little big knife'. The knife, with a good choice of steel, performs well above its size and weight - demolishing all the cardboard packaging of two Ikea wardrobes with ease!Rating
Spyderco seem to have nailed VG10, making the most of sharpness, longevity and ease of sharpening.
The G10 offers a little extra weight, which I like, and it feels better in the hand than the frn, IMHO.
Minor criticism would be the pocket clip, on a handle this small can feel uncomfortable on prolonged use, but it's no bother to me as I tend to remove pocket clips anyway.
Verdict - excellent knife which punches well above its weight. (Posted on 24 July 2016)

- Nice to collectReview by Alijami

Anybody who particularly wants a Spyderco and/or the VG-10 steel won't be disappointed but having just purchased its Byrd Robin stablemate I'm a little disappointed on a personal preference basis.Rating
I concur with some reviews elsewhere which mention that the spine thumb ramp ends sharply. I prefer the radiused ending on the Robin. I also noticed that Dragonfly deployment is very slightly more uncomfortable than with the Robin even though the hole diameter is identical to the round part of the Robin teardrop. The reason is the Dragonfly hole is very clean (or sharp according to your viewpoint).
The Dragonfly is 10g lighter and 1.5mm thinner than the Robin. A possible advantage for some but I prefer the "chunkier" feel in the hand. I also prefer the very slightly more bellied profile of the Robin.
So I don't regret having the Dragonfly in my collection but unless I have a task particularly suited to the VG-10 it's the Robin I will carry most days. The relative cost means I could replace it twice.

- Great little EDCReview by David

- Superb EDCReview by Pete

In most incarnations, the Dragonfly is an excellent EDC. The best example of Spyderco's 'little big knife' philosophy. It can be carried on its own around town/work, or paired with a larger blade for extended cutting chores out in the wilds. Granted there is a hike in price to obtain the G10 version but it adds a small amount of heft and grip to the already supdeb ergonomics. This is one of those knives that will likely remain in constant EDC rotation for the rest of your days. Combines superb steel, clip and handling. And who doesn't like foliage green?

This was my first Spyderco knife and I was not disappointed. This knife is well made and there is clear attention to detail by Spyderco. The lockup is rock solid and I can not fault this knife in any way. I would recommend this little knife without any hesitation. (Posted on 3 March 2015)Rating

- BeautifulReview by Gamal

I know that looks are subjective, but this is one gorgeous looking knife. The quality of materials used in this knife is of a very high standard. For such a small knife, it fits perfectly in the hand.Rating
I have only had this knife for a couple of days but I've already fallen in love with it. For me, it is the best small knife in its class in ergonomics and aesthetics.
Can I just add that the service provided by Heinnie was top notch. Will be using again for sure. (Posted on 19 April 2012)

- Very impressed!Review by Kane
-
Top quality all round from Spyderco. Very well made little knife. VG10 sharpens to an unbelievable edge, great size in the hand and in your pocket. If you've got the spare cash go for it! You won't be disappointed. If money is tight have a look at the 'Ambitious', half the price, just as sharp but not the overall quality. Service from Hennie as always is exceptional...... Kane.

- new favorite EDCReview by Dan
-
Been using this for a while now every day and its an excellent quality knife. The way the handle is shaped gives great control (I have medium sized hands) and it feels like you have a much larger knife in your hand. Blade deploys quickly and smoothly and the whole thing feels rock solid.Rating
I did end up removing the wire clip for an even smaller profile in my pocket which was easy to do. (Posted on 17 October 2010)
