My answer is yes too! Neat little knife! I also prefer the HAP40 sprint but I think VG10 is excellent too.

I have a zdp189 df2 that rocks! It's also about $50 less than what a Hap40 is going for on the secondary market.
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.

yes. they are great little knives. VG10 will do, but ZDP or Hap40 would be sweet too.

The Dragonfly is a cutting machine. For it size it is amazing what it can do. I recently carried one exclusively for a couple of days. Also it does not scare sheepoeple.

Absolutely. It is a great design that I'm sure you will greatly enjoy.

I'm a big Dragonfly fan. I think every Spyderco enthusiast should have at least one, I've bought 3 for friends and family and 4 for myself. Bento box has still got a Hap 40 dfly if you must have that one. Personally I would recommend you save $50 and get the ZDP-189 from amazon. Both are excellent.

This is one of my most used knives of any size/steel/edge type. It's a ridiculously capable little knife.

Ya, I think the H1 will remain my most often used D'fly until they make one in LC200n.

I have about 6 so I am biased. Get one. My favorite is the G10 but I carry an FRN pretty often, like today.

I prefer the G10 ones, but any DF is worth getting.
