I have just received the Dragonfly 2 Wharncliffe in VG-10, and compared its ergonomics with my Robin 2.
As I already suspected from the pictures, I prefer those of the Robin. To me, they're more refined.
My contentions are as follows :
1. The handle is too thin behind the middle and ring fingers, it "lacks meat". There's almost some empty room between my fingers and the handle. As a result, I don't quite grip the knife confidently. There's something unnatural, it isn't a satisfying sensation.
Dragonfly Robin comparison 2. My pinky finger rests awkwardly on the handle's butt, which is a bit short and especially curved the wrong way at the point of contact : it's convex instead of being concave.
Dragonfly Robin comparison 3. The Sypderhole's hump is more pronounced than that of the Robin. But more importantly, its apex is more salient meaning it gets further into the thumb's flesh. (The "indentations" are also more pronounced but I don't mind that).
As you've noticed, I formulate these criticisms despite not having gigantic paws for hands
Or perhaps because of it ?
My suggestion for improvements to be implented in a future Dragonfly 3 : a refined solution already exists in-house... look no further that the Robin 2's design !
This being said, I really like how lightweight the Dragonfly is. Also I may have turned into a Wharncliffe believer.
