Buck Knives 55 vs Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Hawkbill Salt Knife Yellow

It seems to sharpen up as easily and hold an edge as well as 1095 carbon steel, but has the rust resistance of a stainless. The fit is top notch. There are no gaps between the backspring and liners. There's no blade wobble, and no gaps between the wooden scales and the bolsters

It has gone through the wash a few times, and it is my most frequently misplaced knife due to it's small size and feather weight. The short blade is very functional due to the 50/50 coil and aggressive jimping, but the small grip doesn't inspire too much confidence. The frame flexes a little, reminding you that it is a light duty knife. It is flickable, but you might have to tune the main pivot screw for optimal function

I like the knife, however fit and finish on the scales could be better. The blade arrived with a burr, almost seems like they didn't finish sharpening it.

Although it has a cheap look and feel, and doesn't have great gripping ability, it does help keep the weight down. It does seem plenty strong though. The blade locking mechanism is a little tight out of the box, but it locks the blade open with some authority. Some don't like the clip, for various reasons, but I do
