I find the Dragonfly carries with nearly the same footprint as a Ladybug. If you wanted a knife with a clip and a bit bigger grip/edge it would be a good choice.
R those scales ti or stainless? It’s niceCruise Style Steak Cutter!! At least that's how I see it.
Thanks! The scales are Titanium.
That is a factory knife. Ti and VG-10 Damascus. They were pretty pricey when they came out , but my buddy had a few from their close out on them and he let me have it for $85. I figured that was a heck of a deal for a "Gentleman's Cruise" knife.
I've been on many cruises and recently went on one over Thanksgiving, I brought 2 Spyderco Salt knives for water activities and my Spyderco Native 5 Fluted CF S90V for a dressier option as well as a SAK Cadet. Quick tip, if you wear board shorts in the ocean, get some para cord and tie one end to your knife and the other end to your board shorts. That way if it comes unclipped it won't be lost to Davey Jones Locker. Also, I went with my DLC coated Salts because if your going to the Caribbean or Mexico, Barracudas will be attracted to the shiny uncoated blades. Even though knives are allowed Security will tell you it's "not recommended" to bring them off the ship and you should leave them in your room. I always told them they were for diving (which was true) and I always declared them when I returned to the ship. It's understandable if you're going to another country, their laws may be vastly different. I got the feeling that if you told them (ship security) what you were doing with them you were ok, but if you caught them off guard when returning to the ship and going through the metal detectors they were not so happy.
It was Holland America which is owned by Carnival so basically the same rules apply. It seemed like with most places these days the Security really didn't know their own policy. I inquired before I went this last time to get more info on knife regs and their customer service actually told me that NO knives were allowed, which was obviously false. At the end of the day, if it's not an absurd size the Security is just as much focused on pleasing the cruisers and customer service as they are on security, like I said being straight up with them when I left the ship and when I came back led me to have no issues what so ever. One thing I forgot though is that if your knife is "big" and "murdery" in your checked bag it may be flagged by initial screening before they take your bags to your room, that happened to me not this time but the one before that. I got called to the security office the night of the first day, after being worried that my bag had not made it to my room yet, when everyone else's had.
Do yourself a favor and get one of these:
