Re: Evil D

My biggest request with paper catalogs is to try to make the pics true to size when possible. If I could be certain that every model in the catalog was presented in true to size pics, my interest in a physical catalog would increase 100%. Yes, that's important........ I found that the photo of the ...

Re: Heavy spring on new Dragonfly....

Hi,
I'm very happy with the Dragonfly now but my family are getting a little sick of me playing with it and saying "look at this little beauty", it comes in handy every day........ the poor little Ladybug is back in it's box, maybe a gift for someone one day.
cheers, John

Thanks guys...... it was starting to drive me nuts...... now it's a pleasure to use and play with (sorry, I meant handle) :D .

Re: 1st Time Catalog Receiver

Hi,

got my 2016 last week, my 2nd catalogue (many years ago) and I'm always impressed with them. There are not too many companies that go to the trouble and just say to look on their website. So thanks Joyce for your hard work, it is appreciated!

cheers, John

Re: Outfitter Country.......

Thanks for the reply Kristi, I received my Dragonfly and am very happy with it, the only problem (that I started a thread about) is that the locking spring is so strong that it actually hurts my thumb and puts me off using the knife. I am trying to decide if I should return it to the US for a replac...

Re: Heavy spring on new Dragonfly....

With that sort of confidence, I am surprised you didn't just unscrew it and analyze it to begin with. I haven't ever felt the need to bend one of my lockbar springs to relieve tension, but I'd imagine just a small amount less angle at the kink will make all the difference you need. You will bend th...
