Hi all, just wanted to share the stoke. I have a spyderco dragonfly 2 salt arriving on Saturday and I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve! Hehe. I hope I'm not disappointed! I have been using a benchmade mini grip my father gave me. I always kind of liked the look of benchmades more, but since I started lurking around the forums, I have heard so many raving reviews of spydercos knives that I had to see what all the fuss was about!
Ultimately, I chose to give spyderco a shot because I needed a fishing knife here on the pacific and the salt line specs won me over. I'm still a little surprised with myself that I chose to go with the dragonfly over the pacific or the salt 1. The ergonomics just look so "right" on that little knife. Looks like the design should give a ton of blade control and precision. I don't know, it was kind of just a gut feeling and I went with it! I just hope it's big enough to suit my needs, we will see. I've heard a lot of people comment that it performs like a bigger knife.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi to the spyderco forum! Hopefully I will be a happy owner and participant in here! I'll give my impressions when the knife arrives.

P.S. my buddy is bringing this down from the states. I never actually had the chance to handle any of these knives in person, and I haven't held ANY spyderco in 20 years so my decision was a leap of faith that was HUGELY influenced by the opinions of many users here on bf! So you guys will get all the credit or all the blame! Hehe...lets hope it's the former!
