Tops D-Fly 4.5 knife, an overlooked gem.

Great video. It looks like a really nice usable knife. I agree with you regarding the blade thickness. Many are just too thick these days. Regards from the UK 👍

Brother: I am sorry to learn about your dog. I'm a dog guy. I know what you're going through. You're not alone. I'm also sorry to hear about your family situation. I'll pray as I remember... 🙏🏻 Great video. Great to see you making videos again. 👍🏻

Nice purchase. Exciting to get a knife that meets expectations. I always thought this knife should have exploded with bushcraft channels. Maybe it will be born again thanks to you 🤣🤣🤣

Glad your back, very sorry to hear all that bad news, just keep going and stay strong. Things will get better!

[@airiksknifereviews9548]

Thanks, Yep, gotta pull up the mental bootstraps and push forward 👍

[@mrc2205]

Thank you for showing this knife. I’d never seen it b4

[@airiksknifereviews9548]

@mrc2205 That's cool, I'm glad ya found it cause it's a knife that doesn't get enough love . I've really modded mine now, convexed it and added a patina I probably share it again cause I changed it so much. It's a perfect blade for those who like to change their edges but it's still awesome out of box .

Good to see a new video from you. I’m certainly very sorry about your dog, though.

[@airiksknifereviews9548]

Thanks, Kind of a long winded one though😆 I probably will make a shorter version with some use . I really want this knife to get more sales cause its a rare one among their library. Most of their blades are way too thick and heavy for my taste..

Sorry to hear about your dog I lost my dog last January a year ago it sucks and it took me awhile to get over it too man I hope you get through it

[@airiksknifereviews9548]

Yeah, it does take a while. I still keep thinking I see her in my bed or run past my feet . It's getting less and easier each day, but for some reason, I struggled making a new video. She was always snorting and snoring in my videos, even causing me to have to redo them at times, but I miss those interruptions. Thanks for the kind words and stopping by.

Sorry to hear you lost your friend❤

[@blackhawkbushcraft]

Nice knife and review, my friend! 👍 And that sheath is a definite upgrade over the previous version. Also, so sorry to hear about your dog. It’s hard to lose a furry family member.

[@airiksknifereviews9548]

Thanks man.. I actually ended up selling that Buck you told me about . It was cool, but man, the edge was freaking horrible on mine. I began to mod it and realized just how badly they messed it up. It happens with companies like Buck ,Gerber, and others, but dang, that was one of the worst edges I've received. I did my best to mod it and then sold it with my Benchmade. That Benchmade Bushcrafter is totally not worth the going price. Fortunately, I got mine for around $200, but even that price was too high. When I see sheaths like Tops makes compared to what Benchmade and others pass off, there is no contest. This Dragonfly 4.5 knife is legit and can be turned into zero degree scandi very easily. It's to new for me to go reprofiling , I'll give it some workout before I decide on the edge. Thanks for comment brother🙏

@@airiksknifereviews9548​​⁠​⁠​⁠ man, that sucks that the edge came all jacked up and sub-par, bro. 😖 Frustrating! You mentioned Gerber and made me laugh. 😂 I haven’t ever owned a Gerber that I haven’t had to re-work the edge. If that Buck was no bueno, good call to sell it off and that Benchmade to get something worth keeping. You got me thinking that I need to go through my knife duffle and probably sell off, trade, or give away some blades that I just don’t use.

[@airiksknifereviews9548]

Right, I know it's always puzzled me why it never took off. I personally didn't like the nylon sheath, that was my main reason for not getting it. When comparing prices, it was in the same range with other blades sporting a much better sheath. This is my limit with price range anymore on knives. I was so happy to sell off that Benchmade , that thing was like a regretful monkey on my back LOL. Thanks for swinging by 🙏
