I´d be really interested in how you feel the Stretch 2 compares to the Stretch 1! Maybe you´ll let me know. I´d very much apreciate that..

I like the handle of the 2 better; still have to use it for a while to say which blade shape I like better.

Just got it today! The G10 matches the G10 of this Sprint run PM2. My other Stretches are FRN and I must say the G10 and liners really feel solid.

So I just got the Stretch 2 today. As far as the handle goes, I like the 2 better than the 1. As far as the blade shape goes? hmm - jury is still out.

Same here - the Stretch is goofy looking but very, very ergonomic. I just ordered my third Stretch today. Since you're awaiting your third stretch already, I assume that at least one of the two you already own will be the discontinued Stretch 1? How do you feel about the changes made from Stretch 1...

Thanks for all the great info!! I am a happy camper. The deals on the Stretch 2 G10 the two gents checked out for you are very, very good, no doubt! Nevertheless, and call me quite righthly crazy for this: I personally would still recommend the discountinued Stretch 1 in ZDP and FRN. You can find i...

I owned an FRN Stretch, but lw design just isn't the real thing for me. I was struggling with the costs of the Caly. When lately the G10 version become discounted due to it being discontinued, it was a no brainer. And a perfect match for my preferences. I can't really imagine letting it go again. T...

PM3 exclusive from Cutlery Shoppe, right?

Oh that's nice! That is an extremely thoughtful gift; you are a lucky man indeed.

For me it was the Stretch. I bought the HAP40 model on a whim to try out the steel and ended up loving the ergonomics, which really inspired confidence while using it. It was larger than I was used to carrying, but I still felt that I had great control of the knife because of the ergonomics. I stil...

Even better: $170 for a G10 Stretch 2 ZDP-189

I was thinking a Stretch ZDP-189 in FRN; what say you guys? Will even consider a knife no longer made on the used market.

Wow - and then the guy did a follow up vid where he took the chip out of his Stretch and made multiple cuts of RG6 cable with no issues what so ever. He's sold on ZDP-189. Hmm - maybe an Endura or Delica ZDP-189 knife may be in my future. :)

I am more concerned with how brittle the steel may be. I saw a You Tube of a guy who has a Stretch in ZDP189 and he used it to cut 75 ohm coax and the wire core took out a nice V shaped chunk off of the edge. Of course if you don't do anything stupid with your knife then I guess it's not a problem; ...

I just got my 2018 Forum knife and I have got to say, it is awesome. https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C81GDGYS90V2/1151 The specimen I got is absolutely perfect. I think Sal was standing there with arms crossed watching them assemble it! The action is like a Rolex watch. It really looks grea...

Now that I have received the 2018 Forum knife, I will have to say this one is it.

I really enjoy this thread.

Mine actually do; just look at my bills :)
