Now I’ve got eight! Like rabbits, they seem to multiply.

My newest is a Dragonfly Salt serrated edge.

Here are six. My wife has two, orange and purple not pictured.

I just got my only one; a wharny. Very nice. Are you avoiding the alternative blade shapes - hawkbill and wharny?

The first spyderco I purchased, was one of the earlier dragonfly SE with the clip molded in the handle. Really liked that knife, and is the reason I bought more from spyderco. Have a few of the newer dragonfly now. The zdp189 is with me most of the time.

The only thing I did not like on the original was the molded in clip. I prefer to carry the dragonfly without the clip.

I gave the original to my oldest, and it was unfortunately misplaced or taken at work. He really liked the dragonfly, but has come to prefer a salt 2 SE for his daily tasks.

We need more fancy DFs.

Obviously I do as well. But, that Nishijin is really special.

It is pretty...

I’m trying to decide between the regular SE salt d-fly or the Hawkbill

Mine definitely had the rabbit gene, started with the G-10 and ZDP and they quickly formed a family

Hoping for a Cruwear Dragonfly soon! A TiCN coated Teal Dragonfly would be an awesome surprise as well!

Third one down on the left is the V-Toku2 sprint, the red one is a KnivesPlus "red dragon" which is a standard VG-10 that's been rit-dyed, acid washed, and given a wacky sharp edge.

We need more fancy Spydies in general but I'd buy a fancy dragonfly. Imagine one with bolsters and a jigged bone or amber stag. Or Zebrawood.

The KC pakkawood df is pretty fancy. Not bone or zebrawood, but still really nice.

I’ve seen the pakawood but it wasn’t for me.

I only have 3; KC pakkawood/ hap40, ZDP-189 and hawkbill. My wife had them neutered so they can't multiply :(

:D
