I'm not Sal, but this response by him in the thread about the new G-10 version seems to indicate that, if the G-10 version is well received, the FRN one will be upgraded. If that happens I can't see the ZDP version not being offered. I just hope they bring back the VG-10/FRN one. It is scheduled fo...

No doubt, the updated Stretch will get the FRN treatment. I have to assume that the standard model will be a VG10. That's a good thing, but like you I would like a ZDP version also. What color would you suggest? I'd like another dark shade blue :) I actually like the BR Green on the current line of...

Sal,

will the FRN zdp-189 stretch eventually get the design tweaks of the new g-10 version?

Thanks Radioactive and DC3!

Radioactive, from your pics it looks as tho the native 5 g10 has a thinner handle, is it noticeable when you compare them in the hand, and which do you like better, for in hand feel?

Thanks Radioactive! I can wait. Happy T-day!

Can someone with both knives, Native 5 G10 and Native 5 FRN LTW, post some comparison pics showing the knives side by side, opened, closed, top view, back view, front view, bottom view, etc?

Evil D,

I asked Sal back in September, and he wrote that they had no plans to do so.

you can search keywords if you want to see his written response.

Sal,

Is the Native 5 LTW s110v shipping this year?

Are the Native 5 LTW(s) made with barrel bushings?

Awesome!

Wish I had one of these and an A.T.R.

What is the hardness of the Elmax on the BBS PM2?

I want to know how Spyderco's Elmax is holding up? Edge Retention, Sharpen-ability, cutting performance vs other PM2's

Unanimous for the Manix 2, somehow I'm not surprised.

Thanks all.

Wanted to know, with price not being an issue, if you had to choose one between the Manix 2 s110v LTW and Native 5 s110v CF peel-ply. Which would you choose and why?

You are being surprisingly hostile to someone trying to help you out, and interpreting my posts to be WAY more aggressive than they are. Really, is that why you edited this post, because yesterday before I went to bed, I read this and its not the same post (the one where I've quoted you from). It w...

Agreed! What about blade color though??

Btw, this just speaks to your insincerity.

Lum Tanto 2 (LT2), it would be sweet though. Maybe tweak the blade a smidge to make it a trailing point, Oooooooo........

You stated "carbonized" in your first post. wow, really, one of those guys, arguing spelling or a mistype.... to prove what exaclty? anyways, you wrongly suggested I meant carburized, and I made the correction I actually meant carbidized....and you argued, again, I meant "carburized&...

Welcome to our forum.

No plans to do so at this time.

Thanks for the answer, next time I see one in stock I'll be purchasing it. And thanks for the welcome.
