Just ordered one, exclusive from the same place where the orange RAT I is available.

Besides a great EDC, I can see this being a good altoids tin/small pouch emergency blade.

Yes, would be great in a small emergency pouch although an Altoids tin is 3½ inches the Rat II is 4 inches closed so it won't fin in an A.T.
The Spyderco Dragonfly 2 is coming out this month in Orange FRN, it will fit into an Altoids tin.
1.2 oz. as opposed to 2.7 oz and razor sharp right out of the box as opposed to dull right out of the box as I've seen in many Y.T. reviews of the Rat 2.
These days I'm preferring Seki City, Japan over Taiwan.

Just picked one up at smokey mountain knifeworks on vacation. I got the black one but its the perfect edc size. I like it alot.
 
If and when it becomes available in OD or desert tan, I'm pulling the trigger:)
 
Surprised to hear of RAT II's coming dull, mine was as razor sharp as all my RAT I's.

That Dragonfly is slick!
 
Maybe I'll get one.. I mean the price is very reasonable (Rat II).
I have to keep my EDC small and the Dragonfly, a knife that I really was not familiar with would be perfect for my usage/carry needs.

I second the dragonfly! As somebody who owns a bunch of much "higher end" knives that I could EDC, honestly the thing that's in my pocket the most is the dragonfly. It's small, lightweight, comfortable to grip for such a wee knife and very knife-phobe friendly... which is a huge part of why it's my edc. That and girl pockets suck :grumpy: Have both the H1 and ZDP... maybe I will have to add another one now... and maybe a RAT II, thanks a lot!!! Seriously though, you can't go wrong with a dragonfly, and hey, it's not like there's any carbon fiber on it! :p:p:p:foot:

(PS) I think this might actually be my first post... wow I've lurked too long! :D
