Originally released in 1994, the Dragonfly helped pioneer the use of an index finger choil that allows a small knife to provide hand filling big knife performance. Also known as a fifty fifty choil, it provides a safe, solid purchase for the index finger and positions the hand further forward on the knife for superior leverage and control. The Dragonfly was also one of Spydercos original lightweight knives and helped to introduce the use of injection molded fiberglass reinforced nylon handles. The current version of the lightweight Dragonfly, the Dragonfly2, has evolved to include a reversible deep pocket wire clip that provides ambidextrous tip up carry.
