Dragonfly & Manbug K390

#1

Post by Sharp Guy »

I just got a notification from the Spydie App that the Dragonfly K390 is now shipping to dealers :)

I still haven't picked up a Delica. I guess it's a good thing these are going to be regular catalog items

EDIT: Now the Manbug is coming too :)

Sweet. Too many other new knives lately, but I'm sure I'll have one of these eventually.

I know it's never ending! I somehow need to train my brain that I can't have them all and/or it's ok to move some on

It should start showing up at dealers this week. But don't worry, it's a regular production model, so once the first batch sells out there will be more.

I've gifted 3 Dragonfly's but never bought one for myself. Each one seamed pretty awesome. K390 and I get along together very well. I'm excited for this!.. Like... I'm so ready to join club Dragonfly!

I'm not sure why but I only like the Wharnie Dragonfly. I've tried 'em all.

Actually the Dragonfly 2 was my introduction to Spyderco. I initially purchased the ZDP-189 edition and then I happened upon the Sprint run of the Toku 2 edition. I had no idea what a sprint run was at the time, but I liked it and bought it on the spot. Both still get pocket time when I am looking for something minimal to carry. They may be small but they started my addiction to Spyderco. I am glad to see they are still being shown some love with new steels.
Current Spydercos in EDC rotation: Dragonfly 2 ZDP-189, Dragonfly 2 Toku2, Vrango, Matrix 2 G10 Black, Native 5 Fluted Carbon, Canis, Native 5 Salt, Enuff Sheepfoot, Lil' Temperance 3, Proficient, Caribbean Sheepsfoot, Shaman Zwear micarta, Shaman Black/Black Spyderedge, DLT tan Yojimbo 2

This one I've been eyeing as well. Though the Dragonfly is capable, I don't normally carry one for work. The only Dragonfly I have is the Vtoku2 version and I love it...so of course this one has to have a fairly similar scale color! But, would also be my first K390 knife. Hmmmm, decisions decisions. *Hoping the eventual pics in thread push me over the edge* I haven't bought a new knife in almost 3 months now :eek:

What about the Endura, Rick? I know you don't love frn, but that model seems more suited to your job. But a k390 dragonfly sure would make a heck of a companion blade.

I just received notice that the Manbug is also shipping to dealer. So I edited the title to include

I'll definitely be getting a MB K390!

Man are you guys getting these notifications from the Spyderco App? Mine hasn't given me a notification since April, when the K390 Ladybug headed out to dealers.

I want. Not sure I'll get. Moneys tight, and guns seem to be the more prudent investment at the moment.

When you open the app and go to the notification center does it have any alerts listed since April?
