Stretch II in foliage green

#1

Post by dorfinator »

I really would like to have a Stretch II in foliage green FRN handles. So Sal, any chance of this every happening?

Plus I've listed a poll on which steel to include with this color scheme.

I'd agree. It's somewhat unlikely that they would and, if they did, they'd probably find some way to make the finished product less desirable than if it were made with one of their steels. Find it somewhat odd how readily we accept that.

I'm in for any new color to the Stretch II.

FYI, Sal stated that the ZDP-189 FRN model is going to be switched to British Racing Green in a "rolling change". It's not Foliage Green, but it's green.

Please excuse my inexperience with the product differences between made in Japan and here in Golden, CO.

I guess then the choices would be ZDP or VG-10.

I'd like to see the Caly Jr/Delica/Endura gray. I'd say that's my favorite FRN color.

British Racing Green is better than no green but I'd still prefer the foliage green as it matches my modded Delica and Endura models.

Well I sure don't want the product to be less desirable due to using a "non" Japanese steel. But do understand the business attitudes of the Japanese and how they do all they can to protect their economy.

I kinda wish the new color (or any color than black at all :D ) goes to the VG-10 model - doesn't cheaper knives sell better?

VG-10 would work for me. As far as colors, I'm not big on foliage green. It's not as bad in FRN as G-10, but I definely like the BRG better, although it wouldn't be my first choice either. I'd prefer the brown being used on the FFG E4 and D4, or the tan of the older Endura 3.

Totally agreed on using E4/D4-style brown. It just looks so cool together with that polished blade!

I voted ZDP by default. The others would likely never happen. I'm onboard with the FG handles though!

I for one would love a Foliage green stretch. A BRG will be nice too. I have been itching to try this model and need to just get the blue one...

I miss my FRN Foliage Green Endura too...

On a side note... I would love to see more CTS-XHP steel :D

G-10 Foliage Green is what I would like to see.

I am looking forward to the BRG ZDP stretch and I would pass on a FG stretch if it came out.
