Hey everyone, a few months ago I had a Spyderco Delica, Ambitious, UKPK, and Resilience. I traded them all off once I got a Zero Tolerance. I kind of missed them, so I have a ZDP Dragonfly on the way. Help me get even more excited and tell me about your Dragonfly or other ZDPs!

I have the Caly 3 CF in ZDP-189 and it's awesome. That knife melts right into your hand and locks in. I just got a paramilitary 2 today in s30v which is another awesome steel. While I like ZT knives, I still find myself defaulting to spyderco for a "production" knife. They seem to have the best ergonomics, steels and lock patterns for the price. And I love how "fugly" they are, even though I like the look of them better than most other companies, people say they're ugly lol. They definitely have the most useful blade shapes, I love the leaf shape.

I would reccomend trying a sage, manix 2, or PM2 -- those three models really melt into your hand and have a bunch of different steels/locks to try.
I dont mind ZT knives, and will probably pick one up eventually. Spyderco just has so many cool variants and steels to try, for the price, its hard to venture out just yet.

ZDP-189 is nothing short of amazing in edge retention, but I'd be far more excited about the Dragonfly aspect than the steel choice. The Dragonfly is, hands-down, the best knife of its type on the market. It goes virtually unnoticed until you need it. It's small and lightweight and amazing. I took the pocket clip off mine and carry it loose in the pocket. It slices through everything like a dream due to the flat grind and blade thinness. It's the benchmark by which all other Little Big Knives are measured.
110% this! The super blue dragonfly is my little big knife. I carry mine clipped in my watch/coin pocket. (And edc left front pocket, Benefit of being lefty...) I love how the dragonfly is nonexistent until you need that sweet razorblade.
Hell, I over spent on the hap40 dragonfly so I wouldn't miss out on it.... I should grab a zdp, because why not.

Yeah, i don't think i could sum this knife up any better than MaxFisher. I have the version with G-10 handles and i love how solid it feels. Super handy and discrete, easy to carry. I like the G-10 version so much i had to track down a delica with G-10 handles too.
