Originally released in 1994, the Dragonfly helped pioneer the use of an index-finger "choil" — a "50/50 choil" — that allows a small knife to provide hand-filling, big-knife performance. It positions the hand further forward on the knife for superior leverage and control, and was one of Spyderco's original lightweight designs, helping introduce injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handles to the market.
The Dragonfly 2 evolves the original with a reversible deep-pocket wire clip for ambidextrous tip-up carry, a versatile leaf-shaped VG-10 stainless steel blade, and a sturdy back lock mechanism. This version features a bright orange FRN handle — easy to spot in low-visibility conditions and hard to lose in the field.
