So I received the Base Model and the Dragonfly H1.... for which I paid (now) $79. Would you guys consider this a good deal?

SinNYCafter posting, I looked up the Dragonfly H1 Hawkbill and the Native in S30V. The Dragonfly seems to run about $65 but I can't find a Native currently in S30v....(except for Massdrop's...Hmmm...Ironic) Native 5 FRN CPM-S35vn runs $95. I've heard the price difference in S30v and S35vn for this blade is ~$30. That would make the S30v version Native a ~$65 knife. So a $130 value.

Bob_VelleHmmm. In my experience, the price difference between S30V and S35VN would range from $0 to $10. Maaaaybe $15. Regardless, still a god deal :)

Bob_VelleAs far as I know they are keeping the price point the same. For example, BladeHQ has the native 5 listed at that price with the knife steel description listed as 's35vn/s30v'... Which means they probably have stock of new and old. Honestly, I don't think $95 for a frn native in S30v is even a bad price. It's comparable to a mini grip in price with a better steel. But if I wanted to buy an frn native for $95, I'd probably look here first.... https://cutleryshoppe.com/spyderco-c41por5-native-5-2-95-cpm-s90v-ffg-blade-orange-frn-handle-cutlery-shoppe-exclusive/

RockyTopLV66Cutlery Shoppe is solid. I have their S90V Manix 2 LW. Great exclusives at totally reasonable prices.

SinNYCThey totally are. Everyone who got an plain-Jane model from this drop should get a refund and spend 5 more bucks for a s90v. That's what I would do. 😁

SinNYCI agree that $10-$15 sounds more logical, but i have no experience with S30V. Thanks for the input.
