Any Dragonfly lovers? (Now I am)

My Dfly2 VG10 is the only knife I really carry as a daily anymore. Used to cary Enduras all the time but I found out I could do anything with the Dfly that I could with an Endura, and it takes up less pocket space. I'd really like to get one of the H1s and the new Orange one.

<reworded again :-\ Not quite off-topic, but close...> I had actually ordered a Ladybug, duh! I am looking to acquire a Dragonfly too. Which flavor to start with is the only problem! I'm going to order it today most likely.

I'm looking to build my collection of Spyderco little knives right now and this one (The Ladybug) will be #5.

Got my ZDP-189 Dragonfly a few days ago. I like how compact it is, I can reach into my pocket easily but it's right there. I'm really getting crazy about these smaller Clipits. I'll post a pic a bit later.
 
I've carried a Dragonfly SS as my EDC for over five years. Love it; hands down the best EDC I've ever had.

Right now I'm considering buying a Dragonfly 2 G-10 as an upgrade, but it's rather expensive for my budget and I don't much like the plastic handled versions (nothing actually wrong with them, just personal taste).
 
I have one of the Nishijin ZDP Dragonflys that I absolutely love, I use it as a cash clip, drops right in the pocket and disappears. I really like having one of the spoon clips rather than a wire one.

I've never had a knife with a wire clip. Seems to me the wire clip would be less visible and slightly lighter as well, so in your opinion what's the downside to wire clips compared to the spoon clips?
 
It's an aesthetic thing for me. Wire clips look "cheap" to me. I'm sure they work just fine ^^

Nothing wrong with considering aesthetics along with more "practical" aspects. An EDC knife is a very personal thing and should reflect that.

I quite like the highly polished spoon clip on my Dragonfly SS, but the painted spoon on my Police G-10 is downright ugly. The paint has worn off enough that I'm seriously considering just stripping the remaining paint off and leaving it bare metal.
 
I'm also impressed with the dragonfly. I got the zdp one as the second item in an order, but I liked it more than the "main" knife. I've carried it a lot.
 
I absolutely love my G10 Dragonfly. Very capable knife for the size. I EDC it in my coin pocket.

Oh, and despite being a big fan of the wire-clips, I took it off the Dragonfly since I just pop it in the tiny little pocket.

Broke my Centofante collaboration knife many years ago and sent it in to Spyderco and because it was discontinued they have me store credit and with that I got a SS Dragonfly and a FRN Dyad Jr.

Love 'em both, carry 'em both.
