Something tells me this might sell well.

Pretty cool. Curious which other models we might see in this configuration?

Outside of kitchen knives, there hasn't been a Super Blue release in a while.

Well, that's interesting. Super Blue has a lot of fans. It's simple and easy to sharpen to a keen edge.

I really don't need another dragonfly, but super blue is certainly tempting. I've always had a thing for non-stainless steels.

I used to have one of the older Dragonlfly Super-Blue knives and eventually lost it. The thing is - it is a nice steel (though probably not pushed to super high HRC), it will of course rust easily and edge holding does not really compare to modern steels. I actually love the steel, but in kitchen knives. If the HT is right, the sharpening on water stones is a pure joy.

I’m interested but since it’s only offered direct does that mean we’ll pay more or do the prices line up with the regular retailers?

It will likely cost more.

I'll pass, but the DF2 looks great in gray FRN.

I agree. I love SuperBlue, but I think the type of knife it's used in really matters... and it excels in kitchen knives. I also have the Endura and Stretch in Super Blue but never use/carry them. I'm interested in these Dragonflys, but I'm not sure I feel compelled to have a short-bladed knife like the Dragonfly in SuperBlue.

They both look great. Probably the best looking Zome yet, at least in my opinion.

Going to pass on these myself, so there's two more for you guys!

I'm down. Usually don't like coated blades but this one appeals to me. Still undecided on coated vs non-coated.

The blacked out version does look great with that color scheme!

Looks good but I don't really need another Dragonfly especially if it's more expensive than normal. I'm also not as interested in Super Blue as much as I used to be. I guess I'll decide whether or not I'll buy one when they drop

ps. My guess is they'll do this configuration in the other Seki models
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Yeah I never saw it as an stand out pocket knife steel, but it is interesting seeing it available. I'll certainly take it over 1095

I'll pass on paying MSRP for the dragonfly. I do think this is the only Zome to date that I've actually liked the looks of. If they do this in the Delica, I'll probably bite.
