The Dragonfly 2, while not a new knife by any means, quickly gained notoriety with its incredibly lightweight yet versatile design. Now in its 2nd generation, each model not only features a front finger choil in addition to a lock back design, but the positive thumb ramp aids blade control especially when performing finer tasks. Additionally, the patented Bi Directional Texturing featured on many of their models allows the knife to remain feather-light while performing like a heavyweight. In 2016, Spyderco introduced the Zome (zoh-may) finish of models which is the ancient Japanese art of creating patterns using dyes from plants, flowers, fruits and other natural sources. Once the traditional injection molded FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) handle scales have been molded, expert Japanese artisans perform hiki-zome (brush dyeing) to hand brush unique, almost one-of-a-kind patterns. Much like anodization, the special dyes used completely permeate the FRN handle to permanently color it. This model, the C28FPZGR2, features a zome green FRN (Fibergrass Reinforced Nylon) handle, a satin finished drop point style blade, Spyderco's trademark round hole opening feature and the reversible pocket clip allows for a tip up only but is eligible for a left or right hand carry option.
