Just got my new Dragonfly purchased in this forum.
Blade quality:
Excellent. Very sharp with overall blade appearance excellent. Classic Spyderco quality here.
Scales quality:
There is a major cosmetic flaw with both carbon-fiber scales on the knife I received. I hope other forum purchasers had better luck than I did. The problem- The lanyard hole is drilled through the carbon fiber and a metal sleeve inserted through the resultant hole. On both sides of the knife where the carbon fiber was drilled for the lanyard hole, the carbon-fiber is delaminated and cracked in appearance where the metal sleeve contacts the carbon-fiber. On one scale a crack originating at the lanyard hole actually can be seen to "travel" the thickness of the scale to the underlying metal. For a $40.00 plus knife I did not expect to see this type of obvious visual defect ON BOTH SCALES.
Anyone else see this problem with their "BladeForum" Dragonfly? Thank you in advance for the feedback.
