Cru-wear Dragonfly with OD FRN Scales @ DLT

[The Mastiff]

Mine arrived today as well. My mail tracking page said it was coming Wednesday but it was dropped off this afternoon. I'm pretty sure I only ordered it on Friday afternoon. :eek: I really like DLT!

Nicely built knife. I'd love to see an Endura with the same treatment.

This needs to happen. It would be nice to have it in satin too but I’ll take what I can get.

How does Cru-Wear compare to ZDP-189 as far as corrosion resistance?

ZDP should have the advantage as it's classed as stainless but that is only part of the story. I'd say normally they aren't too far apart with the advantage going to this one because of the coating. I store my cruwear knives with a wax coating. This one will probably only have it on the edge . The pivot on all my knives gets a silicone/teflon dry lube after being cleaned.

Yep. We have waited too long for a Cruwear Endura.

If one shows I will be in the scramble.

Mine has been in a small town in GA for the last 5 Days. FedEx Customer reps have been no help at all. I called DLT and they are on the case.
Also, UPS is taking their sweet time getting my Mule team knife to me. Might be delivered Wednesday. I hope this isn't the new normal for these delivery companies.

This is probably the 9th or 10th Dragonfly I've owned. It was the first Spyderco model I bought years ago. This is definitely the coolest version for me so far, from the pale green FRN and black hardware to that sweet Cruwear blade.
Please produce a Cruwear Endura, it will fly off the shelves quicker than the other recent Endura releases.

Another vote for a cruwear endura please....

DLT also offer this one:

I ordered both. :D

ASF :spyder:

Nice, but I've tried for years and I just can't get behind the Zome handles. I've been on the brink of purchasing one but couldn't, haha. But, it'd be a great candidate for a scale swap with the 20cv. :D

You mean like this?

And another...and an Endela

ASF, nice!

Gotta admit, the black blade goes nicely with the Zome scales.

I've got a green Zome DF2 that the black blade would look good on too.

Exactly like that, that 20CV / ODG might be the apex FRN Dragonfly (or Delica) configuration. No unneeded price jack features like DLC on a corrosion resistant blade, no flashy or fugly FRN colors, why can't someone just offer that configuration?

[ladybug93]

i like the coating, even on corrosion resistant blades, but i understand that a lot of people don't. you could always get the 20cv df2 and dye the scales black.

That's funny - that swap is exactly what I was thinking about this afternoon. Mine arrived this morning, and the OD green is perfect! But I do have a preference for non-coated blades. The problem is that the black blade/hardware looks so good on it, I kind of don't want to break that up. I almost need to buy another so that I can keep one as stock, then swap in the 20CV blade and accompanying hardware on the other. (I'll probably just do the swap and call it a day though. My budget can only take so much...)

I'd gladly take a Native 5 LW in that configuration.

^^ I now regret not getting the smooth G10/CRUWEAR Knife Center Native. It lingered for some time. My Native-curiosity has grown since and I’ve been eyeing the Salt or SPY27 versions. A DLT Native LW would be a nice thing.

I’m hoping KnifeCenter has the the smooth G10/Cruwear configuration Native Chief in the works.
