I am finally going to get that blue Dragonfly I've been after
I have asked for a blue Dragonfly for several years, now. It looks like I am finally going to get what I want...and a plus is that the steel is K390.
I was looking for a different shade, but hey, it is blue!
It will be after Christmas more than likely, before I get to buy it. I will buy one (or two), however.
Thanks Sal.

I only wish they release a FRN Urban in K390. I really like that cobalt blue.

And that gray can very easily be made blue with RIT dye!

I was just hunting on the internet last night for another K390 Urban. Love that knife.

Re: I am finally going to get that blue Dragonfly I've been after
That grey K390 Urban was a home run. I own three of them but I am not crazy about that smooth FRN pattern. Urban is a superb city carry slipit and I love it mostly because of how thin behind the edge it is ... 0.015” more or less. I wish they move the Urban production to Taichung and implement the Chaparral frn pattern in the process. It deserves the best IMO

Re: I am finally going to get that blue Dragonfly I've been after
I agree with the move to Taichung. It would solve a lot of problems. However, I like the FRN pattern on this knife. It is a pocket knife, after all. It just feels good dropped into a pocket without a clip. When your hand goes into your pocket, the knife just feels right, somehow, like it is pocket worn. It feels good in the hand when using it, too.elena86 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 12:46 amThat grey K390 Urban was a home run. I own three of them but I am not crazy about that smooth FRN pattern.

Haven’t there been several blue DF2s?
Super Blue, K390, TNP special DLC/S35VN, and the teal S30V...

Re: I am finally going to get that blue Dragonfly I've been after
I really like the color of the K390 DF, but won’t buy one because it’s K390. The only PM steel I think I would consider buying is SPY27.

Teal, especially that color they used is not teal or blue. It is more aqua green.

Re: I am finally going to get that blue Dragonfly I've been after
I'm only now getting into understanding the majority of steels being used on the cutlery market; and when I got my VG-10/Zome version, I almost went for the K390/blue variant; but I had to keep costs in check. From what I understand, K-390 is a seemingly tough and wear-resistant steel; which makes it perfect for a harder use knife. And that, coupled with the comfy and compact Dragonfly is perfect for my personal tastes.
And I like the blue color.
And I like the blue color.

It is grey that is a little on the blue side of the spectrum, but not much.

Re: I am finally going to get that blue Dragonfly I've been after
I did a thread a couple of years ago wanting a Blue Dragonfly for men's cancer. There is a particular shade of blue for men's testicular cancer, and men's issues often do not get funded. This is what I'd like to see
