And I believe it shall be a H1 SE Dragonfly. I just love the little guys. plus H1 is super easy to sharpen and I have had enough practice with my native to get serrations paper shaving sharp. If anyone has any experience with the H1 Dfly your input would be much appreciated. :spyder:

It's one of my most carried knives but I have the plain edge. Great lil allrounder. I also find the H1 easy to keep razor sharp and it holds it's edge pretty well.
Thanks,

I don't have the H1 Dfly, but I have a regular VG-10 one (got it pretty recently to replace my thoroughly well used AUS8 version). It is ALWAYS with me. It rides in the bottom of my front right pocket with my SAK. It is my most carried Spydie as it never gets rotated out of my EDC. The larger knife that rides in my front cargo pocket (I wear cargo pants and/or shorts pretty much exclusively) gets rotated between a bunch of them, but the Dfly never leaves my side unless i'm in bed asleep. You won't be sorry about getting any incarnation of the Dfly.

I have a D'fly in SE and it is my favorite little big knife. It is quite light and disappears in my pocket. You won't be disappointed!

I thought that three days ago , today it arrived .
My dislike of frn I've gotten over it , my dislike of back locks ill forgive.
The spyderco that's responsible the matriarch II awesome ,no other words for it.
Oh and it bit me good :D one question when it closes the 'clunk' ?.
Where is making contact and with what I've shined a fenix whilst closing and can't see where it meets.
There is a black spacer type object in the liners but I can't make out if its contacting the blade.
Anybody can tell me I'd be grateful .

The H1 Dragonfly (in PE) has been my EDC since January '13. I purchased this knife thinking that I wouldn’t enjoy it any more than one of my older ATS-55 D’fly models. Boy, was I wrong! The H1 steel is capable of holding a scary-sharp edge and is easily re-sharpened on the Sharpmaker. After carrying the this knife every day for nearly six months, I can honestly say that I have a hard time swapping it out on the weekend for my weekend EDC’s (such as my Techno). Simply stated, this little knife rocks! When I’m at work, I prefer to carry the D’fly in the waistband of my dress pants in order to free up room in my pockets for pens, pencils, notes, etc. The wire pocket clip is excellent in this regard, in that it clips neatly onto my waistband and “hides” discreetly behind my belt. (I unfortunately have a few fellow co-workers who tend to get a little bit antsy whenever they see a sharpened piece of steel :rolleyes :) . For under $60 bucks, this is one great little knife.
