I've got the V-TOKU2 Dragonfly and have been very tempted at the ZDP189 as a back up. Well worth the $89 or so I take it? I've never tried that steel eitherCambertree wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2019 9:09 pmMaybe not so 'hidden', but they don't get the same ongoing fanfare as some other models.
-ZDP189 Dragonfly
-K390 Urban
-SE Drop point UKPK in Gin1.
And I completely agree on the HAP40 Stretch.
I don't EDC three fonger knives. I'd love to see a larger version of the Rhino!youmakemehole wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2019 9:04 pm^^^Especially if you have recently discovered that your most practical EDC blade style is a small/slim trailing point such as the one found on the Ikuchi. Not sure why there are so many fans of the Ikuchi but not for this lovable little guy? It is almost the same except it has a thicker more robust blade with better steel, and size/ergos that are near perfect for EDC. Is it because it isn't as pretty and has that horrendous stock clip? Literally you take teh Ikuchi, make it smaller more tough more practical and more ergo and you'd get:► Show Spoiler

That's been on my list for a while, but it always gets passed over for something else.
Its a 4 finger knife! Even for some with large hands.Vivi wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2019 11:03 pmI don't EDC three fonger knives.

Yeah, I think it's well worth it - it costs more here in Australia of course. You seem to be really enjoying your V-Toku2 Dragonfly, and I'd definitely recommend a ZDP189 knife if you haven't tried one.
I would recommend against the G10 Jester. It is not a bad knife, but after owning it and an SE FRN version, there is no competition. The difference between SE and PE on that small of a knife is magnified. SE turns it into a destroyer of worlds, where as PE is somewhat lackluster.JonLeBlanc wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2019 4:47 pmUnfortunately some fine gentleman acquired it from me surreptitiously and without my authorization at a bar one night, but I had a little stainless Jester CE that was so handy. The perfect box opener. I'm tempted to snag one of the G-10 sprints to replace it but I procrastinate. That's one we don't hear about too much, right? Lol
P.s. Now that I think about it, that was my very first Spyderco! Poor little Jester...
