Hey Sal,

Good to see fellow 2A folks in other hobbies!

No idea if my signature line is bad (it references that I like guns) but I’ll change it to something more palatable to be on the safe side

Plain Jane Dragonfly Wharny!

Good to see all the love for the DF.
Its obviously a proven winner. Been manufactured since the 90's, I think.

It’s assuredly a well executed design

one man's cumbersome is another man's robust.

Haha absolutely

It’s nice to have a smaller knife when you are cutting close to your off hand. The Dragonfly excels at that sort of work. I think I need a Warncliffe. Dude Wharny is so good. I don’t hunt, so I don’t need to skin anything (Apparently that’s the best use for a belly??) I’ve tried to find cuts that a...

Am I right in that there is no DFly wharnie SE Salt in H1?

I’ve looked high & low for every wharny spyderco produces and I never came across that combo. Would be cool though

My wife carries a serrated Dragonfly hawkbill Salt model. It's a pocket chainsaw. Highly recommended! Also, I consider the Para3 a small knife. It's all relative though. Yeah I can get the relatively thing. I carry a CZ75b many days of the week which is seen as nuts among many. I guess I’m the oppo...

@ Tristan yeah that definitely makes sense! Thanks man
@ maybe we need an acid washed DF2 to honor the coal miners haha
@ appreciate it buddy! Always good to see another Tar Heel on the interwebs

Hey y’all, As y’all know, I’m new to folders. My Spyderco collection has tripled over the last 2 weeks or so with the additions of the Para 3 and DF2. Initial impressions of the Para 3: my god, this is considered a “small” knife? This thing is hefty. Feels very well made. Compression lock is really ...

My Japanese kitchen knives (moritaka hamono) are Aogami blue #2. With a simple strop they get paper thin tomato sharp. They will develop a patina though (im in the South). I think I’ll get one of these DF2s

Very late to this, But….
1) buy your flave of Ulticlip (slim 2.2 is likely ideal) for $12
2) fix paracord to lanyard hole —> Ulticlip

= low cost, super reliable, diy pocket clip (and Ulticlip is made in USA which is cool)

I have my eyes set on the lil native wharny! 100% going to get it

Yeah when I was looking at knives corrosion resistance was BIG for me. It gets humid down here in the South. Thankfully I don’t live near the ocean so salt water isn’t an issue. I think I’d opt for LC200N going forward but I think H1 is cool

I’ll get on it!

Yeah there’s definitely a place for SE. Like I said, I defer to all of you and y’all’s experiences cuz I’m new. But even with a steel that’s apparently poopy (H1) it’s been a good companion.

I am new to the knife world, in fact I just joined the forum the other day. So take what I have to say with a salt lick. But over the last year I’ve used a tasman salt 2 in h1 full SE. frankly, I’ve never sharpened it because I don’t know how to. From a layman; it seems to cut well enough still? It’...

I’m honestly floored by the helpful responses. When you see comment threads on platforms like YouTube, or anything firearms related (I’m deep into the 2A thing), you witness so many unfriendly folks. I really appreciate all of y’all’s input in helping guide my decision. And after all that. I had the...

The Halloween PM2 it is!! I may also get the DLT exclusive pm2 in purple/black. I’ve always thought purple and orange were great Halloween colors. Why am I fixated on Halloween in January. I don’t have a good answer for that🫠.

Thanks everyone! My knife journey starts today!

Thanks for your time and perspective, Jeff!
