Update:

I was one of the first in line for a pre-order at BladeHQ.

Shipped late February and I haven’t seen a tracking update since the 23rd of feb. BladeHQ issued a refund but can’t send me a new one because they are back ordered again. They asked me to pre-order again.

Is it me or does the pivot look different than the regular version ?
All FRN Dragonflies have a metal washer under the pivot screw, in between it and the FRN pivot hole, used to distribute the pressure of it more evenly over the FRN and not crack/deform it. They are usually satin (shiny), this one looks dull (it’s not anything new or a CQI update, I suspect just a weird Photoshop job). They are also only finished on one side so if they fall off during disassembly, you know what orientation to reinstall them. Cheers, Radioactive
Weird, mine is the same on each side.

Hope the regular Dragonfly and Delica get updated to s30v. Nothing wrong with Spyderco VG10, but it's been ages they got an update.
Even something like XHP - just make it with American steel.
Afaik, XHP is harder to sharpen than S30V. Delica and Dragonfly are entry-level knives for everyone. They need to feature a steel that everyone can maintain. That's probably why they still feature VG10. I think s30v is a good compromise overall.
XHP in my experience is easier to sharpen than S30V and as far as I can recall this is what most people say.
Larrin had some explanation in his last article what contributes to that ease of sharpening of XHP.
I like XHP even better than S30V

That being said: I still hope the base models of the Seki line remain to come in VG10. Great, not only "beginner" steel imho and often underrated.
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

I'm basing my XHP on the assumptions that it's a better quality D2. I don't have experience sharpening XHP since I only have it on knives I sold before maintaining (Techno 2), but from my experience D2 is a very hard steel to sharpen.

If XHP isn't similar to D2, I'll stand corrected :D

I have a pink Dragonfly with black blade and hardware coming. It should be here by the end of the week.
