Red vs Blue

Nice looking Stretch! Mine is on the way…

Thanks, I'm really liking it so far & I just finished my Tasmin2 Salt blade swap, it was a great pairing for the day :)

Is that a polished edge I see on your SuperBlue Stretch1 or is it just the light/angle?

Cheers,

John

The owner states that he has already changing (web) hosting providers & is in the process of putting a new website up all together. I wish him well, hopefully this will resolve the really difficult drops they've been having.

I think both the OG model and the Sprint are beautiful, and I rarely use the word beautiful to describe a knife. The lines, curves, it's just a fantastic design IMO... not an easy knife to find.

I have really wide hands & wear XL gloves, and while I generally EDC a Shaman, Chief, Manix or P4 -- I do have a few Para3s that I like just fine, but I think the G10 Naive5 is a bit better fit for my hands and they get the most "small EDC" pocket time from me.

The Chaparral line is so wonderful, I've always found Fit & Finish to be impeccable with all of them. I carry the FRN version more than all the others combined, it's the best small/light EDC for the money from any knife maker. I just hope the Micarta model lands soon... :D ;) KnifeCenter, if you...

Aside from the Manix2 LW in XHP there was also a G10 version, I have it and like it, but it honestly gets zero pocket time from me, between the all Manix2 models/steels I have 99% of my Manix2 pocket time goes to 4V, Rex45, and S90V. In my experience XHP should be treated like a tool steel not a sta...

There are several very long threads on this -- search is your friend... :p :rolleyes:

I picked up both the Delica & Dfly in TiCN CruWear w/ OD Green FRN, and I would definitely grab an Endela or Endura should they surface, and given they unlikelihood of 4V or Rex45 ever showing up in Seki models I think CruWear is the best hope for us tool steel lovers. On the Golden front I thin...

Is anyone else having issues with the app? I was told to check the app twice this week for details, which never came! I was hopeful for a bit when a "View Now" link showed up under the "New Para Military 2" listing, but only linked to the previous listing images of the "Man...

I'll take two SE & one PE in that that configuration, and while we're at it, I would love to see a P4 LW S90V TiCN PE/SE in black FRN. Between Police & Chief models I don't think I would have need to ever buy another large folder in my lifetime....

I have swapped blades from at least a half dozen models, LW and G10 and have yet to have a problem.

Looks like maybe a laser start/stop point? And yes probably patina/corrosion starting. If you are interested in removing the K390 patina you've got started I would suggest some Flitz, and once removed you might consider keeping a thin coating of mineral oil on your K390 (or any other tool steels) b...

Wish that Strech K390 have his original drop point blade shape. Don't like the PM2 spine:(

Yeah, me too. Rumour is their will be both, I hope that is true.

:confused:

I had this happen with my Rex45 Lil' Native & it wasn't difficult to resolve, the knife is designed for the clip to be moved/removed from one side to the other so I would start by just loosening the screw a little bit, then a little more if necessary, I'd wager it won't take much at all to at le...

Yes please, XHP or K390 perhaps, I'd love to see wood scales like the last Chaparral...
