The TRIVISA Dragonfly-CG is the kind of pocket knife you reach for when a delivery box needs opening or a loose piece of cord needs trimming. Its rose-gold blade brings a little color to a familiar everyday tool, while its compact size and crossbar lock give you more practical reasons to take a look.
Price: $60.99
Where to Buy: Amazon
At $60.99, this is a small folding knife with 14C28N steel and a crossbar lock, priced fairly. TRIVISA lists that price on its website.
A blade for the small jobs that add up
TRIVISA lists the Dragonfly-CG’s drop-point blade at 2.99 inches. That’s enough length for everyday tasks such as slicing packing tape, breaking down a small box, or cutting a piece of string without putting a long blade in your pocket.
A drop-point blade has a tip suited to general cutting rather than one specialized job. You can use the edge for a longer cut and the tip for more precise work, such as getting under a strip of tape. As with any knife, take care not to cut into whatever is inside the package.
If you mostly want a handy tool for ordinary household and everyday-carry jobs, this blade size makes sense. You don’t need to carry a larger folder just to open your mail.
14C28N steel, without the hype
The blade is made from 14C28N stainless steel, according to TRIVISA. It’s a familiar choice for folding knives, valued for a balance of corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. It’s a sensible steel for a knife you plan to use.
TRIVISA lists hardness at 60±1 HRC. Edge geometry, heat treatment, and basic upkeep decide how long the edge lasts in your hands.
Keep the blade clean and dry, and sharpen it when the edge needs attention.
A pocket-friendly size with one trade-off
The Dragonfly-CG measures a listed 3.74 inches closed and weighs 2.17 ounces. That’s a short, light folder to carry alongside your keys, wallet, and phone. The open length is 6.73 inches, giving you a sense of the knife’s overall footprint when it’s in use.
The trade-off is the short handle. If you have larger hands or want a substantial grip for extended cutting, buy a larger folder. Check the dimensions against a knife you already own before buying.
TRIVISA describes the dark handle material as “Carbon Fiber G10” but doesn’t explain its construction. The dark handle looks good against the rose-gold blade.
The crossbar lock is the practical draw
The Dragonfly-CG uses a crossbar lock rather than a liner lock. A spring-loaded bar helps hold the blade open, and you disengage the lock using controls on the handle instead of moving a liner out of the blade’s path.
That matters if you’ve used crossbar locks before and like how they work. It also gives you another option if you’re shopping for a compact folder and don’t particularly enjoy liner locks. The lock is there to help keep the blade open during cutting. It does not turn the knife into a pry bar.
TRIVISA also lists a ceramic ball-bearing pivot. Bearings reduce friction at the pivot. Fully open and lock the blade before cutting, and keep the mechanism clean.
A little color you can carry
The rose-gold blade is the feature you’re likely to notice first. Paired with the dark handle, it gives the Dragonfly-CG a warmer look than an all-black or plain steel folder. If your everyday gear tends toward understated colors, this adds a bit of contrast without changing what the knife is for.
The finish looks good, but there’s no evidence here that it improves cutting or corrosion resistance. Choose it because you like how it looks; choose the knife because its size and lock fit the way you work.
Who should consider it?
Consider the Dragonfly-CG if you want a compact manual folder for everyday cutting and prefer a crossbar lock. It’s small, light, and a little more colorful than your average pocket knife. Skip it if you need a full-size grip for long cutting sessions.

Before carrying it, check the knife rules where you live and anywhere you plan to visit. A blade under three inches isn’t automatically permitted everywhere.
