Stretch XL discussion
Re: Stretch XL discussion
When you guys get yours, if you wouldn't mind posting up some comparison pics. Blade length, handle comparison, closed real estate. It would be greatly appreciated. Maybe against some popular models.

Re: Stretch XL discussion
Mine should be in tomorrow morning. I will just post a few outdoor shots so the thread won’t be redundant. MG2

Re: Stretch XL discussion
Can someone post a photo comparing the Stretch XL and Military Model?
I’m wondering if the differences between the two (like the differences between the straight-spine Stretch2 and PM2) are slight enough to satisfy people wanting a Military Model (or PM2) without detent concerns.

Re: Stretch XL discussion
Comparison to some other popular models. Sorry for the bad lighting.
Re: Stretch XL discussion
I don't mind identifying the obvious, and I called this one a homerun on first sight. This model is a flagship...
So it goes.
Re: Stretch XL discussion
this picture makes me want it in a salt even more. blacked out salt, please!
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Re: Stretch XL discussion
Man, that comparison shot really makes me want one of these bad boys.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Re: Stretch XL discussion
This knife basically obsoletes the Endura for me, and if it ever comes in a Salt version or even just a MagnaCut version that isn't 100% Salt, it'll also kill any interest I may have had in a Pacific.

Re: Stretch XL discussion
I definitely prefer the blade shape to Endura (especially for a general outdoor use). Handle shape too.
... I like weird

Re: Stretch XL discussion
Awesome comparison shots MG2! Thank you!
I think it actually makes me want a Native Chief even more. It is so compact.
