Spyderco Dragonfly ~ C28BK
Many of us buy small gentlemen's knives assuming we'll use them for
undemanding cutting chores. While that is normally the case, the Dragonfly's
diminutive size belies its cutting capabilities. When need be, it will
cut and perform like a much larger folder because Spyderco's R&D team
focused on creating a small but ergonomically superior package out of high-performance
materials.
In order for the knife to feel like a larger knife in the hand, it needed
well-designed ergonomics. A forefinger-choil and thumb-rest give the hand
purchase points, filling out the palm and offering cutting control. Its
leaf-shaped blade is flat-ground VG-10 and the Spyderco Round Hole is 11mm
facilitating easy opening. FRN handle is textured with Volcano-Grip and
a tip-up integral pocket clip. Low profiled and weighing just over one
ounce, the Dragonfly is one of the flagship models in Spyderco's Little
Big Guy Knife line up.

Kiwi ~ form and function
at its very best.
The Kiwi is Spyderco's high-tech approach
to a traditional "gentleman's folder" with a handy 2 inch blade. The overly
pronounced hump accommodates the opening hole and creates a placement point
for the thumb. A unique two-finger choil design comfortably positions
your forefinger and middle finger making the Kiwi feel like a much larger
knife in the hand.
Reminiscent of traditional old-timer pocketknives,
Spyderco has used amber coloured jig bone scales ( amber / burnt brown)
with brushed stainless bolsters on the handle. The blade steel is VG-10
and, in the tradition of a true gent's folder, this folder is clipless.
Blade closes with a resounding click as the blade pulls back into the handle
- just like well-made folders used to do!
A very classy concept for men and women.
