HKS has this listed as being in stock on 4-2 :eek: . This is the first I've heard of this. Pretty excited :D . I see a blade swapped super blue nishijin Dragonfly in my future :cool: .

:eek:

I've been wanting to get a non-serrated Dragonfly to replace my FRN anyway, and something with glass fiber.... oh boy!

$209.95... wow... I hope that's MSRP.

Glass fiber ZDP-189? If constructed like the G10 model with full liners I wouldn't bet on it. In fact, look at the Dodo CF without liners and S30v.

That's gorgeous, especially with the solid clip.

Hmmm, I miss the wire clip. Seriously thought about this one until that. I wonder why the change?

Has anyone ever seen these anywhere else? I'm not quite in a position to buy one this second, but I really want one. Are my chances basically nil to find one of these at a sane price in a few months?

My sentiments as well. I was about to pull the trigger on this one until I saw the spoon clip. I may go ahead and get one if they are still available a couple of days from now. Those nishijin handles look really nice.

Agreed. I'm still waffling.

No wire clip

This might be a show stopper for me on the D'fly.
I called Howes and the few he has are collector numbered. I find it strange that this the only mention of the ZDP Nishijin Dragonfly and there is only a handfull. Are these just new old stock or are we going to see more popping up? :confused:

Agreed and agreed. I see the spoon clip as a shame for these handles. Why cover them up with a solid clip? I really want one, but can't swing it right now.
