Is it possible to switch the serrated blade from the H1 Salt D-Fly to a plain edge G-10 D-Fly and have a good functioning knfie?
Thanks

I remember seeing a thread where someone swapped a ZDP blade into a G-10 Dragonfly, they noticed that the lock bars are different sized. You won't be able to swap the lockbars and it won't be a guaranteed swap, but I think it is worth a try.

If I recall correctly, each and every lockbar/blade combo is hand fitted and is a tight match.Donut wrote:I remember seeing a thread where someone swapped a ZDP blade into a G-10 Dragonfly, they noticed that the lock bars are different sized.

On a knife like the Dragonfly, I really enjoy the FRN. I can't imagine G-10 improving it, but to each their own. :-)
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

I've never liked the feel of FRN. I realize it is quite strong, but it just doesn't feel right, especially with no liners, that's why I was considering the swap. Also because most say H1 is the best to have with serrations.
Thanks!

I've done multiple swaps on Delicas and Enduras, never had a problem. I mean, it's a royal pain in the butt, but it gets easier every time you do it.bh49 wrote:You can try, not sure if this will work. I read a while ago that all mid-lock are hand fitted. But I saw some switched done.
My new D'fly just came, so maybe we'll see sometime soon.
