New sprint run Dragonfly

[pborst2023]

I just received my sprint run Dragonfly and love it. It’s been a challenge to find them with black blades, which is my personal preference. I love this one, although I don’t know much about the steel. Below is a picture next to my carbon fiber. Cruware Dragonfly.

PD#1 is said to be very similar to Cruwear. Nice knife, I'm sure you'll love it.

Thanks. I’ve heard that except that it’s made by Carpenter rather than Crucible. So I probably need to keep it dry and oiled occasionally, which is what I do for my D2 knives anyway.

Yeah, and the coating will help too.

Good point

Cruwear is at least more stainless than D2. The corrosion resistance seems about midway between D2 and AUS-8. So it just depends on where your environmental hedge requirements. Coatings can help. I occasionally wipe the sharpened edge with a little mineral oil.
