Spyderco - Drogonfly 2 Lightweight - Burgundy - Micro-Melt PD#1

Limited edition Sprint Run

The Dragonfly is a handy, compact and lightweight pocket knife made to be carried every day and still sets the standard when it comes to packing serious cutting performance into the smallest possible package.

This variant features a full-flat-ground plain edge blade is made from Micro-Melt® PD#1 tool steel. This steel is one of the few air-hardened steels, the advantage of air hardening is that the steel cooling process can be controlled much better than with oil or water cooling, for example. This allows you to control specific properties such as hardness, toughness and durability.

In addition, this steel is produced with the Micro-Melt powder metal process, which ensures an ultrafine and extremely homogeneous grain structure. All this results in a high-quality steel with unprecedented durability, long edge retention and excellent toughness. This steel is a carbon steel this is why it can oxidize if not given the necessary maintenance.

The blade is coated with a titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating. This coating gives the blade its beautiful black color, but it also has a number of positive effects on the blade. By protecting the steel from external conditions, the blade becomes more corrosion resistant. In addition, the coating reduces friction during cutting.

The handle of the Dragonfly features stainless steel liners covered with fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) scales. The scales not only make the knife surprisingly light, but have a fantastic grip due to the integrated pattern.
The scales are Burgundy colored, named after the wine (region) from France.

The Dragonfly equipped with a Back Lock, which is a locking system on the back of the handle. This uses a tilt mechanism rotating on a hinge in the center of the arm. A lip on one side of the arm drops into a notch on the back of the blade to lock the blade in the open position.

The knife is equipped with a wire clip.
