*I have never seen a review video that completely sold a knife before. Hell I've never seen a infomercial that so motivated me to want to buy a product before. You sir are a genius and spyderco should pay you for a video that sells the dragonfly like this does. I'm ordering one now. I salute you.*
For what it's worth, as helpful as the video is, it doesn't do the knife justice. I own a DF2 SS Tattoo version. It is a BEAST of a knife. The video can't show you how the lock feels. There are better knives for various things for sure, but damn...for a 2 inch blade with a solid lockup, it is one very sharp, very solid piece of steel. Also for what it's worth, I have heard people say that VG10 doesn't hold an edge. Does it LOOK like it doesn't hold an edge? Mine is still razor sharp after like 10 years, and while it's not my edc, it is my go to at home. Got in some dude's car one time, and he showed me the huge knife he kept under his seat. Thing looked like a short sword. I was like...gee...all I have is this. Pulled out the DF2 and SNAPPED it open. Which do you think would do more damage? My money's on the DF2.
Sean Jackson Nice. I hope you like it. No, to the Spydiechef. It’s ugly, it’s a frame lock, it’s got a back slanted blade, and ridiculously expensive. Not my thing at all.
I'm planning to buy this knife, and I watched at least 20 tabletop reviews before I found your video! You showed so many practical ways to use this knife, I'm completely blown away by your creativity. This is a true knife review, big channels should learn from you! Thanks so much!!! I'm ordering the Dragonfly now! 😀
Better than a sea of people talking about knives while simply fidgeting with them for 80-100% of the video. It's all about usage, application. I'm sold. Thanks man.
Great demonstration video; appreciate you showcasing different grips and cutting a variety of materials. Nice knife skills with the chopping and food prep. Much better than someone just talking about the knife. Valuable, enjoyable, and well done. The classical music is an excellent choice. Thanks for making and posting. I have an orange Dragonfly 2 arriving soon!
My dad loves this damn knife...he just sent me this video. I always thought it too small to become my EDC of choice but damn, I got one and sure enough this thing is incredible. I can't go back now. It's SO light and the design is, in my opinion, perfect. Long live the dragonfly 2
This is one of THE best knife review vids out there. Shows just what this little knife is capable of. Every knife enthusiast and Spyderco fan should have one of these.
Thank you for showing the knife actually cutting things. I've watched many reviews of this and other knives, and had yet to see one in action. Subbed. (I ordered a D2 earlier today.)
Great review video. I love that you not only discussed the knife, but showed it being used in some practical ways. I already ordered one (Zome Green with VG-10), but I'm certain that, had I not already ordered it, this vid would have pushed me right over the edge. Can't wait for it to arrive so I can compare it to the Delica in my own hands. Thanks for the upload, info, and visuals. And more knife reviews, please!
I always bought cheap knives over the years and never really used them, sometimes a knife can come in handy. So now I'm thinking of buying this! Awesome review! this really helped me make my choice for buying a new knife. 😁🔪
engelen26 thuis - Knives are very handy, and can even help save a life. I’m never without one. This one is a great choice. I hope you like it, if you get one. Thanks for watching. 😀
Very fun, interesting, and well put together review. I love the musical test cutting montage, nice touch. I'm usually in to bigger blades, but I've decided to add one of these to my EDC. It seems to have much utility, and I don't think I'll even notice I'm carrying anything extra...Great vid!
I almost didn't watch this when I saw the cutting the hanging paper thing at the beginning. 'glad I stuck with it. Looks like you're a chef who likes little knives. (at least off-duty and for around-the-kitchen stuff)
Jason crumpled - Thank you, sir. Glad you like it, and agree. So many videos annoy me. How about half a video of someone slowly opening a box? Now that’s entertainment and information. ;)
I got a ladybug 3 in that sprint run steel V-Toku2. I just got it today. The ladybug is a bit too small, at least it is for me. I wish they had the Dragonfly out in that steel. I think the Dragonfly is one of the best spydercos out there. Too bad Spyderco doesn't offer a blade replacement service like Benchmade does. I have one Dragonfly that has worn down considerably. What do you think of the VG-10 steel? You probably use that steel, or similar in food prep, since VG-10 was made for kitchen knives.
RickN Backer - I like VG 10 a lot I use it every day at work with my Delica wharncliffe. Nothing wrong with that steel at all. And, the Dragonfly will be in that Vtoku 2 sprint run. Just be ready for it.
Kristoffer Dela Cruz - Thank you. There’s a wee bit of up and down, like on most back locks. Doesn’t bug me, or keep back locks from being my favourite. I just ordered yet another Dfly. 👍
very nice, best df2 vid ive seen so far. good music, skilled knife use with real life applications, good vid length. u have ur knife skills mostly from being a cook? u almost sold me the df2 with this. got it once in h10 steel, found it a tad too small, i might order me one in vg10 now to re-try. the eternal search for the best edc knife continues.
Thank you very much. Yes, I cut a lot of things every day, and not just food. I open and cut a ton of cardboard. I use the Delica Wharncliffe at work exclusively. Another top notch knife for work.
Say, do you work/own in the restaurant industry? I recognize that SYSCO brand from when I worked for a Deli. I think the other brand we ordered a lot of was Lombardi.
@@MrTomatoManJL hey can you please do this test with the little native an how is ur dragonfly doing after this is it looser I love ur videos wish you did more small Spydercos like lil native Chicago charpel ect
Any random knife can do what's showcased in this video. That's not what I'm expecting from a review, if that was the intended purpose. Feels more like gear-porn to me, although some will like it.
mk2008 - I make what I'd want to watch. I don't like vids of people who love to hear their important selves talk on and on, all the while twirling the knife around for 15 minutes. Seeing a knife getting used makes me want to try it. If I want specs, I go to a website.
I was taught as an apprentice, many years ago, the little rhyme which has served me well for the last 50 years..... Never cut towards your thumb, always cut towards your chum,,, 😉🔪🩸🩹... ps,, great video, 👍

Grizzly Country - You’re too kind. Thank you. I hope you like the knife. I have a few of them, if that says anything.

Its so good to see a video where the actual knife is shown in practical use
That’s what I like to watch.
@@MrTomatoManJL so did you get a spydie chef? seems like it were made for you haha. btw i ordered a dragonfly right after watching your video
Sean Jackson Nice. I hope you like it. No, to the Spydiechef. It’s ugly, it’s a frame lock, it’s got a back slanted blade, and ridiculously expensive. Not my thing at all.
MrTomatoManJL thats fair. Theres a certain charm about a simple FRN delica, native or spyderco.

That’s what I can’t stand also. I’m glad you appreciated it.
This is one of THE BEST knife reviews I have ever seen. Thank you so much for showing all these different kind of usages.
Thank you very much. Great knife.
nobody usually does so many different practic excamples. +1.
but it would be nice to say it's vg10 in the first place.
+mike z - thanks. What steel do you prefer, and why?
welcome. I dont know, i didn't try. There is just also very hard zdp189 version with higher price and very stainless h1 salt.
Great demonstration video; appreciate you showcasing different grips and cutting a variety of materials. Nice knife skills with the chopping and food prep.

It definitely is so light, yet highly capable. Sal Glesser is a master designer. Enjoy your knife. Lately, I can't keep mine out of my pocket.
More reviews should include proper everyday use of the knife. Well done!
I agree, and thank you very much.
This is the best video about Dragonfly 2 I have seen! After watching I immediately ordered one!
This is one of THE best knife review vids out there. Shows just what this little knife is capable of. Every knife enthusiast and Spyderco fan should have one of these.
Thank you kindly. Great knife.

Awesome demo of the little Spyderco’s capabilities! Appreciated!
Just got one in a pakkawood-scaled sprint run and I’m excited to take it for a spin.
TrumpetMunkie - Thanks. Glad you liked it. Enjoy that. beauty you bought.
amazing video! I've been deliberating a purchase for months now and you've sold me on it!
Thanks!
You'll like it. Very capable design.
Excellent demo, well done sir. This was bar far the single BEST review on the Dragonfly 2 I especially liked your Tamashegiri;)
Great review video. I love that you not only discussed the knife, but showed it being used in some practical ways.

Your kind comments are much appreciated.
My favorite EDC knife. Probably my favorite all around knife.
Just bought my dragonfly 2. This video is very useful. I like it when you clip it to your chef shirt...
It’s so light and handy.
You sir, have sold me on this knife.
I hope you like it. It’s a great user.
You should be in marketting - such a good video
I always bought cheap knives over the years and never really used them, sometimes a knife can come in handy. So now I'm thinking of buying this! Awesome review! this really helped me make my choice for buying a new knife. 😁🔪

Yeah, I just had to show the nice edge geometry on it at the beginning. 😁
i watched whole video while having a meal. what a great appitizer. dragonfly2 looks so good for chefs.
shim - It's light, strong, and very useful.
Two big thumbs up !!! Very classy.
great demonstration, really useful video.
Ordered one today, thanks fantastic video!
Its sad, now i gotta to buy it. And i have a new CRKT m16 for just like a week. Best demonstation video of all times man! Thx
Спасибо за обзор и очень показательное тестирование
That first part I was thinking to myself "No way!", then when it sliced right through I said, "holy crap!".
The apple?
@@grizzlycountry1030 No, the paper @ 0:12.
Great knife and beautiful music
Erik Ramaekers - Thank you. I agree.
Thumbs up for the quality of this video. Amount of skin you left on that cantaloupe was criminal and reminded me of my stingy mother.
Akira Ijuin - Thank you. 😁🍉
Dragonfly is my favorite knife. I have 2 Dragonflies as VG10 with stainless steel handle and a H1 with yellow handle. Also awesome video
Thank you. Great knives.
Very good video bro, thanks!
Cool video tanx
Great review! You are a professional chef I presume?
The best review video I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Great job. Your in the wrong business 😉
I humbly thank you. I try to make them as I’d like to watch.
Magnificent, thank you 🙏🏻
Make more knife videos...yours are the best..you're exactly right...anyone can sit there twiddling a knife
Jason crumpled - Thank you, sir. Glad you like it, and agree. So many videos annoy me. How about half a video of someone slowly opening a box? Now that’s entertainment and information. ;)
very very interesting video you got here!! i just bought df2, thank you for your video review, i love more this knife now. good job MrTomatomanJL
at first, i feel this knife so cheap in hand, and can't take hard use tasks, but your video prove me wrong. it is robust yet lightweight
Louis Maxell - Thank you sir. Enjoy your awesome little big knife.
Had to watch it twice, that good, music was great as well, do more voids on your spyderco's
l Curtsinger - Thank you very much. It’s a great knife.
Im sold on the dragonfly 2, luckily i have a para 3, USA. Id rather wait to buy, a dragonfly
Good video
LOL. Great stuff. Thanks
Thanks for this review !
Денис Доброта - You're welcome. 👍🏼

Very nice review i was just wondering does your dragon fly 2 flex or can you feel a flick when u start cutting hard?
Kristoffer Dela Cruz - Thank you. There’s a wee bit of up and down, like on most back locks. Doesn’t bug me, or keep back locks from being my favourite. I just ordered yet another Dfly. 👍
very nice, best df2 vid ive seen so far. good music, skilled knife use with real life applications, good vid length. u have ur knife skills mostly from being a cook?
u almost sold me the df2 with this. got it once in h10 steel, found it a tad too small, i might order me one in vg10 now to re-try. the eternal search for the best edc knife continues.
Thank you very much. Yes, I cut a lot of things every day, and not just food. I open and cut a ton of cardboard. I use the Delica Wharncliffe at work exclusively. Another top notch knife for work.
Is this right out of box? Have you sharpened it?
Mike Chou - I’m pretty sure it was. It’s been a while. They are that sharp though, every one I’ve gotten.
This is the best knife video I've seen.
Bigbobg - Thank you. 😄 I enjoyed making it, and better yet, the knife.
Say, do you work/own in the restaurant industry? I recognize that SYSCO brand from when I worked for a Deli. I think the other brand we ordered a lot of was Lombardi.
RickN Backer - Yes, I cook.
Like the name
Is that a 550 paracord your using?
Yes
what lanyard is that?
Hangman's knot. I just found this quick example...

MrTomatoManJL Thanks
MrTomatoManJL is it vg-10 steel?
Yes. Great steel, in my opinion.
👍🏼 🤪!
vg10?
Wayne Leong - Yes sir.
MrTomatoManJL it stayed sharp from start to finish ? If so that's an amazing steel
Wayne Leong - Yes. My work VG 10 wharnie Delica gets tons of use, and it holds a great edge.
Had to get a new one cause u ruined that one
AsbAmt - How?
@@MrTomatoManJL hey can you please do this test with the little native an how is ur dragonfly doing after this is it looser I love ur videos wish you did more small Spydercos like lil native Chicago charpel ect
Cost too much .
You know, I completely agree. Prices of Spydercos are getting ridiculous lately.
