The Spyderco Dragonfly 2 C28P delivers full-size cutting performance in a compact 2.31-inch package that disappears in your pocket. This serrated blade configuration excels at cutting fibrous materials and rope while maintaining the precision control that makes the Dragonfly series a favorite among professionals and everyday carry enthusiasts.
What Makes This Different
The Dragonfly 2 features Spyderco's signature Trademark Round Hole for one-handed opening, eliminating the fumbling associated with thumb studs or nail nicks. The VG-10 stainless steel blade holds a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard 440C steel while resisting corrosion in marine and humid environments. The ergonomic handle design provides secure grip control despite its compact 2.75-inch closed length, making it suitable for detailed cutting tasks that would challenge larger folders.
Key Features

Field performance centers on the knife's ability to handle cutting tasks that defeat plain edge blades. The serrated configuration maintains cutting ability even when encountering abrasive materials, while the VG-10 steel composition resists chipping and rolling. The lockback mechanism engages positively under load, providing confidence during heavy cutting applications. Weather resistance testing shows the stainless construction performs reliably in saltwater environments and high-humidity conditions.
