any news about g-10 dragonfly?

[diver15]

Does anybody know the latest about the G-10 dragonfly. I can't wate to buy one but I have been hearing mixed rumors like that it won't come out till next year or it will not come out at all :eek: . Can anyone put my mind at ease?

Ir's in the 09 Catalog Supplement, which came out a couple months back. I'd say that pretty well relegates the "never" rumors to total BS, unless of course the Yellowstone super volcano blows and buries everything west of the Mississippi under ten feet of ash.

I'd also say it means, as of then, Spyderco was pretty confident it would ship before mid-November, when the 2010 models are announced. So am fairly confident the "next year" rumors will be proven wrong as well. One dealer seems to be reporting "mid September" and, while that may be optimistic, I'd say there's an excellent chance it wlll arrive sometime between then and mid November. But of course, that's only a guess.

I understand that Mid September is realistic. I've been carrying a production sample for about 2 weeks. Very nice piece.

That's Great news! The Dragonfly was my first Spyderco so it has special meaning to me. Sal you need my address so you can ship that sample to me? haha

Can't wait, Sal! Hope to see it then!

I have been looking forward to this one for a long time.

Can't wait!

Where did you find that? Under availability it says it's a "delayed new product- pre-sale only at this time."

I called and asked and it just so happened they had them, i picked up some Spyderhawks but they did say they also had the G10 Dragonfly

[SamMaxRay]

They (knifecenter) was closed when I called at about 5:45 PM E yesterday. So i filled out an order on their web site.

Their price is higher (around $94) than knifeworks which shows around $82 I think. Neither show that they have it in stock.

[sal]

They're going through QC now.

It is, in my opinion, an exceptional piece.

Thanks for the update Sal! You get up pretty early.

I called knife center and of course they don't have them but they do have my order.

They are also quoting different MSRP's for it. $20 different to be precise. One of them has to have the MSRP wrong, and may very well revise their selling price when they realize it.

I ordered from knifecenter, and i have to admit they are fast and serious sellers,so even if they sell few dollars more some products i want trust them.Dragonfly still is not tagged as in stock but probably soon we will find them in stock as Sal said they could be on the way for them,i will buy one dragonfly G10 soon, probably i want order to them one Novatac 120T so i will try to save somthing with a multiple expedition overseas,but chowke and spyderhawk are on my list too...
Hard times...

This model is actually a Dragonfly2. It's the first variation. The new FRN model will be based on this design with the left/right wire clip and the new texture.

I should be starting another thread today on the FRN dragonfly. I need some research input before beginning the new mold.

The Dragonfly design has been around for many years. It's a good size with good ergos for the size. A difficult design challenge for the size.
