LC200N seems like a logical choice.

LC200N would be phenomenal. I've been very impressed with it. Individual results always vary but with my own usual technique it seems to take what I would describe as an aggressive plain edge, toothy but very sharp.

A PE or SE DragonFly I could use to clean fish that sat between my SE LadyBug and PE Tasman would be a must have for me.

I would like a PE FFG Hawkbill Dragonfly in vg10. HAP40 would be my next choice.

Same, but K390 for me. I've been wanting a PE Dragonfly Hawk for awhile.

April 2017. Seems like a long time ago. I made this thread before Sal and Crew graced us with the hawkbill dragonfly. Which remains one of my favorite knives.

I'd still like a PE Hap40, ZDP-189, K390 HBDfly though. I'd also like it to be G-10 with liners despite the extra cost, something that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the other awesome high end little knives like the lil nilakka, one eyed jack, McBee, and Pochi.
But I'd by a Lightweight in a heartbeat too.

:open-grin I rember this thread

Ya, I'd still go for a plain edge hawkbill Dfly. I'd still like it in G-10 or CF, K390 or Hap40. But I'd buy an FRN VG-10 version if that's what people want.

The SE H-1 Hawkbill Dragonfly remains one of my favorite knives of all time.

I almost started a thread about this last week. As much as I like my Ladybug Hawk, a Manbug Hawk would be better. It is easier to hold and work with. Just that small amount of size difference makes a difference in handling. LC200N or H-1.

I hope this comes about. I think it should be doable. We have the Manbug Wharncliffe, a great idea. But, a hawkbill would be gooder for some things.
