Dragonfly 2 FRN Pink S30V Shipping to Dealers

[Henry_P]

Got a notice in the app that the s30v Dragonfly is now shipping to dealers.




Excited to have a Dragonfly in s30v.

Good. I haven’t seen a notice yet.

Is it me or does the pivot look different than the regular version ?

I think I've stopped getting the app notifications! I'm gonna have to figure that out. I'm excited for the dlc versions of these!

It’s strange. Notifications seem to be hit or miss with the app. It doesn’t look like there is any way to manually view notifications either. When I tap on notification center in the app it is just a blank white screen. Maybe they are working on updating the app in the future.

I've not gotten a notice. I am really looking forward to getting one of these for my wife.

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.

Almost looks like there is a metal washer over the composite one, under the screw.

What Henry_P said is exactly my experience. Additionally, I’ve tried removing and then reinstalling the app but no luck.

Yeah, could be a good improvement. I've always had problem to put them back without making the action very stiff.

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

I placed a pre-order at Blade HQ the day it opened. No word on anything.

I have my amazing BRG ZDP-189 donor handle waiting for its Made in the USA S30V steel transplant.

Come onnnnnnnnn. :D

I cancelled my BladeHQ preorder and ordered from GPKnives instead, it has already shipped. It still came out cheaper for me. I noticed big companies like BladeHQ are some of the last to ship out new knives.

I feel ya. I have to force myself to be patient. I know my limits. :D

Edit: I just called BladeHQ and they don’t even have a drop date. I guess the large orders get filled last. Curses.
