help, trade a tattoo with stretch??

My last spydercos was meerkat dragonfly tattoo and ladybug hakwbill.

Last one was one gift first one i like very much but i was little bit disappointed about dragonfly, i prefer FRN i have in my collection,
so now i have possibility to trade tattoo with one FRN stretch NIB but with combo blade.
I do not prefer combination edges never i bought one until now,
so im going to ask if can be a good trade or its better save in my collection tattoo and buy one plain stretch?

Thanks for help in advice.

That's completely up to you... If you don't feel you're going to use the Dragonfly and that bothers you to have it sitting around doing nothing, then trade it. But if you don't like combo edges and you trade for one, you're going to be miserable with it settling for less (unless you spend some time and find that you like CEs after all.)

if youre not using the tattoo Dragon fly i would keep it, those might not be around too long and it seems like the Stretch is becoming more common lately


if you have already used the tattoo and you can trade it for a FRN Stretch CE i would for sure, especially combo edge, youd be surprised on how well a combo edge can cut stuff in certain situations

but its up to you. what do you like more? what will you use more, your cutting needs? i for one love all stretch's, i own all 5 new stretch models and two tat-df's and to be honest i never carry the tat-df. its kind of "girly" imo. where as the blue and cf stretch model is awsome and the blue frn scales are beyond perfect! i dont use the tat-df but i assume that special design coating will rub/scratch off easy in your pocket along with the normal scratches from ss

It is up to you, but what is the point to keep the knife, which you do not like?

Thanks for imputs, at last, i decided to leave in my small collection dragonfly tattoo, i will buy soon one new stretch, probably i want buy a G10 D'fly and one white FRN so i will collect all models i know.
Most of my pieces i dont use to care, i EDC usually only military native FRN dragonfly and jusst sometimes one of my D'Allara, last night i won one spyderhawk serrated will be my first HWbilll, my first H1 steel, i will try to use for any days.
