Blue Dragonfly 2

#1

Post by Doc Dan »

I have a thread on this years ago, I believe. I would love to have a standard blue VG-10 Dragonfly, the same color as the standard blue Delica and Endura. This is a nice bright color and if the little knife is dropped it would be easy to see.

I wonder that we haven't seen one. I think it would just require some dye in the moulds and not a major change.

I wonder if this will come about?

You can always dye one the exact color you want. Its an easy task.

I would posit that in spite of our love for the model, Dragonfly sales pale in comparison to Delica and Endura sales. Those lower sales, in turn, don’t justify the overhead increase for offering more SKUs.

What we do get for the Dragonfly, I think, is more irregular blade shapes than we get with the Delica + Endura. But most of those are available only in yellow or black.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

The "K390" blue is halfway between that Delica blue and the MGE teal.

Yeah, that is a nice color, but it is that blue on the regular Delica that I want (and some others want it too).

Of course, I could go for this combo:
