View Full Version : dragonfly handles
I own three dragonflies, two frn and one ss. Both are serrated. I would just like to hear some opinions as to which handle is best for everyday carry? Is the frn dragonfly alot weaker than the ss dragonfly? I like the light wieght and grip of frn. But I also like the "heft" of ss. Which handle does everyone prefer on the dragonfly? Thanks.

Mike,
I prefer the SS handles. I had a FRN, but sold it. It just wouldn't work right in my hand. I just picked up a SS handle one and like it alot better. The SS would be alot stronger then the FRN, but its the Dragonfly. How strong do you need it to be?? and maybe ya need a Chinook if you need really strong. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Dude, the FRN dragonfly is a great keychain knife! Its light and unasuming.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> But above it all, the most awesome dragonfly is the Carbon Fibre version.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I went with the SS after much handling in the store, about 2 months worth...
I own 5 spydies, 2 frn(Delica, Calypso jr), 1 ss(Dragonfly), 1 tufram(cricket), 1 g-10(wegner jr)... gave my mother the ladybug(first my sister, then back to me, now my mother).
I find not only does the SS have the heft needed for the size, but the plain edge/SS gives it a classy look.
We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

Sam,
Seems like Spydernut is the only guy on the forum that can find all of the CF Calypsos. he and Kahz seem to have the nose for these Spydies.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Since Kahz and Spydernut have adopted all of the known CF D'flys, I decided to get two for the price of one. I just got the FRN PE 'fly. Very sweet little thing. Still waiting for the SS SE one. I'll let you know which I'll love most <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> (decisions, decisions) when the SS gets home. Could there be a favorite? Don't know. Later.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
