I handled one at the store today and I liked it so I bought one online. It's truly amazing to have a knife that small that you can still get a full four finger grip on. Post some pictures of your Dragonfly's to tide me over while I'm waiting.
 
Congrats! I have the the Green G-10 Dragonfly and the Super Blue model on my wish list. I've heard great things about the 'Dragonfly and am excited for one. I'll post pics when I get them. I'm looking forward to seeing pics of yours when you get it.
 
Behold!

My G10 Dragonfly is one of my all-time favs. So much knife in such a small package. Considered doing a ZDP or SB swap, but honestly, the VG10 holds its own.

I bought this H1 Dragonfly a few weeks ago and have really been using it hard. I absolutely love small knives and this one is a pint sized beast. I can't believe how comfortable such a small and light knife is, and how well it cuts. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

I love the looks of the Dragonfly. I'll be getting one soon as well as a new Delica to replace the one my wife took.
 
I have 2 currently, and my first one was a ZDP Nishijin Dragonfly that I sold. The H1 serrated edge Dragonfly is a seriously capable knife. I used it as an impromptu drywall knife (Used a skill saw set shallow so as not to hit any studs behind the drywall, and did the rest of the cutting with it ~6'). It dulled it significantly but was very easy to get sharp again...sharp enough after 5 minutes on the SharpMaker to cut a worn out leather hiking shoe in half. The plastic plate in the sole was the hardest part to cut through, but the serrations just sawed right through.

My next Spyderco and soon too :thumbup:
 
One more - the ZDP-189. (Sorry about the quality of the pic, quick shot on the cell phone.) Btw, this is one of my absolute favorite Spydies. An absolute pocket laser!

I thought about the zdp version but I didn't feel like paying that much.
 
Yep - I know what you mean. The extra $17 or so is a bit tough to justify when the VG-10 is such an outstanding value. I will say though that the ZDP-189 really holds its edge. Plus the British Racing Green FRN is really cool:)

I don't think you'll be disappointed. Don't be afraid to use it hard either. The se H1 holds an edge extremely well and touches up very easily.

Glad to see all of these different Dragonflies are getting some well deserved love :thumbup:
 
I love this little guy! I haven't had an EDC task that the Dragonfly couldn't handle. I have the ZDP and an H1 version. I'd pre-ordered a SuperBlue version in January, but looks like those might even be gone.

I also have a Ladybug in zdp 189 and I only paid $40 for it so I really didn't care about getting the Dragonfly in that steel.
