Got your attention, didn't I? 
I thought I'd share a fun story that happened to me tonight. I used my Dragonfly for the 1st time tonight...at dinner in a Chinese restaurant!
My honey and I were enjoying hors d'oeuvres consisting of shrimp, teriyaki beef, egg rolls and BBQ ribs. I put a rib on my plate and reached for the knife provided by the restaurant. It was a butter knife! (The dull type usually found in restaurants that aren't even good for butter!) Frustrated, I think to myself "Screw it!" and reach for my newest Spydie, my Dragonfly. There are folks seated at tables all around, and no one even took notice when the knife locked open with a loud *click*. My honey looked at me and grinned and chuckled, shaking his head at me in a "honey I love you despite your eccentricities" manner.
The Dragonfly did a wonderful job of removing the meat from the bone and when I was done, I carefully wiped it clean with my napkin and put it back in my pocket. Well heck, just what is a lady supposed to do when she doesn't want to get her dainty fingers messy with BBQ sauce, and the only cutting utensil provided is too dull to do the job?
