Re: Worked on a brand new Smock...

Sounds like your problem is solved and several have mastered it as well. I don't have a Para2 but I have had centering problems when closed on a couple of other knives. The screws are the thing but this is how it makes sense to me. Picture a stack of paper you are going to put in your printer. You ...

Re: Your Spyderco Christmas Eve And Christmas Day EDC

So far today (Christmas Eve), it’s been a Stretch 2 G-10 since it’s a great paring knife, and I’m doing some food prep for tomorrow. As for the Big Day, I have reason to believe that there will be a Stretch 2 SS to unwrap. That will absolutely get christened on Christmas... kind of appropriate! And ...

Re: What are you listening to?

Oh, and there’s another passion: ANYTHING touched or created by Daniel Lanois. More brilliance. A favorite there is the work as “Black Dub”...

Oh, to be a fly on the wall during those recording sessions.

Re: What are you listening to?

From Ben Shapiro to Haydn to Debussy to the Beatles, Stones, Sam Cooke... oh my, what a wonderful mix. Doesn’t surprise me with such a passionate group. For me? I listen to different music at different times of the day. Classical in the morning, then on to other sounds throughout the day. Lately, it...

Re: Straight Spine Stretch

You know that Sal is watching this thread, and the original Stretch blade is his baby, and one that I believe, while quite polarizing, has a following, I’m sure a fan. While the straight spine is cool, it is kind of boring, and nowhere near as interesting to look at as the original. Just carried my ...

Re: Straight Spine Stretch

Wartstein,

So close to getting you the info you requested! Will a British Racing Green FRN ZDP-189 Stretch 2 do?

Re: Straight Spine Stretch

Wartstein, sorry about the odd orientation of my image, but it may actually be best for what you'd like to see. The flat and belly of the cutting edges sure seem to be the same to me, at least comparing my G10 to the SS...

Re: Straight Spine Stretch

It has arrived. One word: wow. First impressions about the ivory is that I REALLY like it. Unique and handsome. Next up is the blade centering and grind... perfect on both fronts. Action? Better than my other Stretch’s, even on the first opening. This is going to be fun. Question is if I pick up ano...

Re: Straight Spine Stretch

Ugh!! This thread made me order a HAP40 Stretch 1. **** I need to use that one with my wife: “The thread made me do it! I had absolutely no part of buying that new knife.” Thanks Dan31... I am set now. ;-) Actually, your reply is quite applicable to me as well. I was on the fence on the SS Stretch,...

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

Ivory Stretch with that straight spine. Honestly, I've become a bit of a steel snob and basically never carry any of my VG10 blades. But this Stretch is such a cool design that I've just been enjoying this in my rotation ever since I got it the other day. Crossing my fingers for a HAP40 version one...

Re: Stretch 2

Few days late to the party here, but I also just acquired a Stretch 2 sprint run, which has joined my G10 Stretch 2. The sprint Vtoku was a birthday present, so the "duplication" of a knife type that I already had was an acceptable request for my wife. And, while the G10 is still my prefer...

Re: psavetoday deals

Yes, this was a wonderful day for Spyderco fans. For me, I picked up a Stretch 2 ZDP-189 in Brit racing green. $105 shipped. I’m okay with that. Been loving my G-10 Stretch, as well as a recently acquired Stretch sprint run in Vtoku2. Hmm, noticing a theme here?

Re: What's The Best Deal You Have Made on a Spydie?

Stretch 2 G10 ZDP-189 brand new for $114. This was an odd one, as I'd been looking around after they were discontinued. Found them on Amazon for a decent deal, then just kept looking back, knowing that Amazon's prices fluctuate. The price seemed to be solid at $198, then one time, I saw them for $11...
