well they are pretty similar. the smooth side is gone and is now all frn bi-directional volcano grip. serrations ARE the same. removable wire clip, not plastic clip. new ones seem thinner/lighter but are not. swedge go's all the way up again. which i like. i think the g10 is only half way. (would have to look) all in all pretty nice knife. cant wait for zdp brg!
pics are the old camera still. the new one was a little better but still all pics look like the blade is black and the light balance cant be adjusted.

That looks really nice ... if I could EDC a locker that's the kind of knife I'd carry :)

Nice. So are there full steel liners on these guys?
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

I'm pretty sure they're linerless...anyone who has the knife, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. But if you look at the screws, there are only screws for the pivot, lockbar and clip.

Thanks for the pictures smooth.
They are looking great, though I did I will hold out for the Salt series and/or G10 D-Fly.

Man that looks nice. I was upset that I couldn't find the regular FRN Dragonfly anymore in PE. Now I'm not so worried. :)
Nice job on the new D'fly Spyderco!!

Hi everybody, I'm new here. Knifenut though and especially Spyderco, ofcourse.
I think the new Dfly is great. Sal took notice of the opinion of the users and put that into the new design. Awesome job, Sal! I hope they will soon be available here in Holland. Greetings to ya all!

Yes please. Clipped in pocket.
Not in your pocket, like I originally wrote.
That would just be silly.
Thanks for the chuckle.
