What I'd really like to see is improvements on the Dragonfly LW. The big one is just offering it (especially the Wharncliffe) in premium stainless. Another could be other scale options. I'd been exploring aftermarket scales and the blade running directly against the scale can be less optimal there. I'd be way into a linerless CF Dragonfly on washers (or even caged bearings against steel washers).
Are those kits for FRN and Salt models?

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
Been carrying my Lil native in rex45 a lot lately. Cracking knife, brilliant steel. Dare I say I may even prefer it to my beloved Chaparral.
But what happened to the jimping? The jimping fairies no visit this knife, why? Could the boys at Golden please add jimping to the CQI version.

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
yes. Flytanium makes one and there's one for sale on ebay. I have both. They both work. The ebay one was designed to be used without washers, but includes them and they do work. The Flytanium one is more expensive and has more parts. They both work.kobold wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2024 1:44 amcjk wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 4:50 pmThere are a couple Ti dragonfly kits both of which come with washers.chronovore wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 10:31 pmFor a tiny three-finger knife, the Dragonfly ergonomics line up a lot better for my hand.
