The Spyderco Dragonfly Stainless Tattoo Lockback (C28PT) is a Dragonfly with a dragonfly design etched into its front stainless steel handle. It has a 2.31-inch VG-10 blade with a full flat grind, meaning the bevel runs from the spine all the way to the edge. That thin cross section slices cleanly through food, cardboard, and paper.
Stainless handles make the knife thinner than the FRN Dragonfly and give it a polished, dressier look. Spyderco’s Round Hole opens the blade with a thumb, and a back lock holds it in place. The etched art wears gracefully and stays visible even after years in a pocket.
Closed, it measures about 3.25 inches, small enough for a suit pocket or a purse. Like the FRN Dragonfly, it is built in Seki, Japan. Steel handles can be slick when wet, so keep a firm grip and wipe the knife dry after use. The FRN Dragonfly 2 and more lockbacks are in our lockback knives.
