is there any other spyderco dragonfly 2 size from spyderco or other manufacture(benchmade etc etc) ?
 
The Spyderco Urban is a bit bigger and a slipjoint, but still quite small. I carry one a lot and was surprised at how much I like it.

The Spyderco Roadie is another cool small knife IMO. Similar overall length but much thinner blade and handle though.
 
Currently my favorite inexpensive small knife remains the Cold Steel Tuff Lite/Mini Tuff Lite (the Tuff Lite is slightly larger than a Dragonfly 2, the Mini is slightly smaller).

My favorite not-so-inexpensive small knife is the Olamic Busker.
 
Spyderco used to make a stainless handled knife called the Copilot. IMO it’s one of their better micro designs. The Meerkat is another good one.

They also make the Chaparral FRN which is slightly longer but just as thin and slicey. It’s probably the best small knife they’ve ever made and better than the Dragonfly in every way. For $80 it’s one of the better deals in the knife world right now.
 
Honestly, I find the ergos on the Dragonfly 2 just don't work for me at all, it's just too small for my hands. However, the aforementioned Urban, Chaparral, CS Tuff Lite and I'll throw in the Bestech Goblin, are all small folders that I find much more comfortable in actual use.
 
I assume you meant a folder, but since you didn't technically specify... if you can legally pocket carry a fixed, you could go with a Esee Candiru. If you jumped up quite a bit in budget, you could also do a Fiddleback Forge Runt (production version). Plenty of nice little 3 finger fixed blades out there. LT Wright has the Patriot too that is well thought of around here.

Otherwise, I would probably vote for the lil native or chaparral. Either nets you nice blade steel. Chap nets you nice slicing and the lil native is a little beefier, as mentioned.

Mini Tuff Lite was such a cool little knife... really would have loved to see one in xhp or something other than aus-8...
