Zome (pronounced "zoh-may") represents a traditional Japanese dyeing technique deeply intertwined with the country's cultural heritage. Inspired by this rich tradition, Spyderco introduces the Zome family of knives featuring hand-dyed variations of popular lightweight models with injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handles. Initially molded in a light base color, these handles undergo a meticulous hand-dyeing process by skilled Japanese artisans reminiscent of traditional hiki-zome (brush dyeing). Each handle is individually brushed with various dyes to create unique, intricate patterns that penetrate the FRN material. The Dragonfly 2 Zome showcases a vibrant pattern of green shades, harmonizing traditional artistry with modern production techniques. It retains all the hallmark features of the popular Dragonfly 2 model, including a full-flat-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade, a robust back lock mechanism and a reversible deep-pocket wire pocket clip for versatile carry options. Combining craftsmanship with practicality, the Dragonfly 2 Lightweight Zome exemplifies a blend of traditional Japanese artistry and contemporary knife manufacturing, offering a distinctive and functional everyday cutting tool.
