When corrosion is your enemy—saltwater, sweat, humidity, rain—the Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Salt (C28PYL2) is your ultra-light, ultra-reliable solution. This compact workhorse pairs a 2.25-inch stonewashed H1® blade—a nitrogen-hardened alloy renowned for exceptional rust resistance—with a bright Yellow FRN handle that’s textured for secure traction even when wet. The Dragonfly’s refined ergonomics, forward finger choil, and spine jimping give you full, locked-in control that belies its small profile, making precise cuts easy from the dock to the trail—and everywhere in between.
Why the Dragonfly 2 Salt Stands Out
H1® steel = near-impervious to rust: The nitrogen-based H1® composition resists pitting and corrosion in environments that ruin typical stainless steels—ideal for marine, EDC-in-shorts, sweaty gym carry, and fishing kits.
Stonewashed utility finish: Low-glare and scratch-hiding, the stonewash keeps your blade looking clean after long days on the water.
Pocket-size with full-grip control: The Dragonfly’s forward choil and thumb ramp jimping provide a four-finger hold for precise, confident cutting.
Featherweight strength: FRN scales over nested liners (model dependent) deliver structure without weight—so light you’ll forget it’s there.
Wet-grip traction: Aggressive handle texturing and a back lock mechanism ensure secure handling in rain, suds, or sea spray.
Ambidextrous carry: Round Hole™ one-hand opening and a reversible wire clip make it left- or right-pocket friendly.
High-visibility Yellow: Easy to spot if dropped on deck, dock, or campsite.

Care & Maintenance
