The Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Salt C28PYL2 is the compact general-purpose marine EDC — H-2 nitrogen-alloyed steel in a 2.25-inch plain edge drop point blade, Yellow FRN handle, and back lock in the Dragonfly 2's ultracompact format, delivering outstanding marine corrosion resistance in the smallest, most pocketable Salt folder configuration for buyers who want a corrosion-immune daily carry that handles general utility cutting tasks rather than the specialized hawkbill line-cutting geometry of the C28SYL2HB.

The H-2 blade is a modified nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel with outstanding corrosion resistance in saltwater and marine environments approaching H-1's near-absolute immunity — delivering the Salt designation's core promise of a blade that performs in sustained saltwater, fish blood, brine, and high-humidity coastal environments without the maintenance conventional stainless steels require. In a 2.25-inch plain edge drop point, H-2 provides corrosion-immune daily carry in the most compact Spyderco Salt folder format, suited to front pocket carry, PFD pocket carry, and any marine carry application where minimum size and corrosion immunity are the combined priorities. The plain edge specification is the general-utility choice in the ultracompact Dragonfly 2 Salt format — a plain edge 2.25-inch blade handles bait prep, cutting line by slicing, opening packaging, and the full range of daily marine utility cutting tasks that a hawkbill cannot perform as versatilely, and sharpens readily on any conventional flat stone or rod the buyer already owns. The satin finish leaves the H-2 blade surface clean and natural — the tactile feedback and visual character of a bare steel working surface. The Yellow FRN handle is the highest-visibility color in the Salt series, located instantly in any marine environment, and the Dragonfly 2's ultracompact profile at approximately 1.20 oz makes the C28PYL2 the lightest general-purpose Salt folder in the Knifeworks Spyderco lineup.

• Blade: H-2 nitrogen-alloyed stainless, drop point profile, satin finish, plain edge — outstanding marine corrosion resistance approaching H-1; drop point provides versatile general utility cutting geometry; plain edge sharpens on any conventional system and handles bait prep, line cutting by slicing, and general marine utility
• Handle: Yellow FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), textured bidirectional grip, ultracompact Dragonfly 2 profile — chemically inert and unaffected by saltwater, UV, and marine biological exposure; Yellow is the highest-visibility Salt series color; Dragonfly 2 profile at approximately 1.20 oz is the lightest general-purpose Salt folder in the lineup
• Deployment / Lock: Back Lock via Spyderco Round Hole — back lock provides reliable blade security in the compact Dragonfly 2 platform; ambidextrous Round Hole allows one-hand opening from any grip position including with wet or gloved hands
• Carry: Approximately 1.20 oz, tip-up right-hand wire clip, ultracompact Dragonfly 2 profile — the most compact and lightest general-purpose Salt folder in the Knifeworks Spyderco lineup; fits any pocket, PFD, or gear attachment point without adding meaningful bulk

Ideal For

Marine EDC, fishing, kayaking, and coastal carry buyers who want the most compact corrosion-immune general utility Salt folder — the C28PYL2 at 2.25 inches and approximately 1.20 oz is the smallest, lightest general-purpose Salt folder in the lineup, suited to secondary carry alongside a primary marine EDC or as a standalone ultra-compact corrosion-immune pocket knife for buyers whose daily marine cutting tasks are light utility rather than heavy line cutting. Buyers choosing between the C28PYL2 plain edge and the C28SYL2HB hawkbill at the same $95 price who want general utility versatility over specialized line-cutting geometry — both deliver H-series corrosion immunity in Yellow FRN at the same Dragonfly 2 ultracompact weight and price; the C28PYL2 plain edge drop point handles the full range of daily cutting tasks while the C28SYL2HB hawkbill SpyderEdge is a dedicated line-cutting specialist that sacrifices general utility for maximum pulling-cut efficiency. PFD carry buyers who want a corrosion-immune ultra-lightweight backup knife that can handle general utility cutting tasks rather than the specialized hawkbill geometry — the C28PYL2's 2.25-inch plain edge drop point at 1.20 oz clips to any PFD without adding meaningful weight while remaining capable across the full range of light marine utility cutting.
