Spyderco Dragonfly2 Salt

Spyderco’s newest addition to their Salt line is the Dragonfly2 Salt. The Salt line consists of several Spyderco classics and some knives unique to the Salt line, all of which make use of a “rust proof” steel called H-1. The rust proof properties of H-1 come from its extremely low carbon content and it makes these knives ideal for extreme environments like saltwater.

The rust resistant properties of the Dragonfly2 make it very resistant to the problems that come from a lack of maintenance. That, coupled with the compact size, make the Dragonfly2 a great choice for a knife that will be kept in a small survival kit, car kit, or any other kind of kit that will be carried often, used once in a while, and maintained infrequently.

The Dragonfly2 is one of my favorite small knife designs. It isn’t the smallest design on the market but it very compact without sacrificing ergonomics. It is very ergonomic, much like most Spyderco designs. Features like fine jimping on the finger choil and thumb ramp help lock the Dragonfly2 in your hand (a very nice thing for a knife that may be used around water).

    I tell ya Matt, I love the look of the Dragonfly. One of my favorite Spyderco blade shapes. The H1 is certainly an interesting version of the knife. I agree it would make for a nice addition to a small survival kit.

      Any chance we will see it on your site? I would love to see a full review on a Dragonfly2 Salt!

    Thanks for the kind words Matt! If I can get my hands on one I will definitely give it a full review. I have zero experience w/ H1 steel so it would be a great excuse to get the Dragonfly 2 Salt in front of me. 🙂
