One of the trade-offs of compact knives is that they are somewhat more challenging to open one handed. The Dragonfly 2 Emerson Opener solves that problem by enhancing the popular Dragonfly 2 Lightweight with an Emerson Opener—an integral hook that snags the top of the pocket to automatically open the blade as the knife is drawn. Sporting a distinctive dark gray FRN handle with non-slip Bi-Directional Texturing, this high-speed version of the Dragonfly 2 proudly includes all the other defining features of this popular model. Please note: Spyderco calls this a dark gray FRN handle but the actual appearance is more of a dark blue.
