Stretch 2 Serrated $45
Would you guys buy a Stretch 2 with full serrations for 45 bucks? I don't own a serrated blade yet and was thinking this would be a great buy....just wondering, any input is appreciated, thanks.

Serrations are not my thing but I'd buy that stretch at that price.

Stretch is one of Sal's "top 10" designs, and to me, one of his top 3, so if you're in the market for a knife with a 3.5" serrated blade, or even just curious as to whether or not a serrated blade would be of value to you, then it's a great buy. If I didn't already have one, I'd be very tempted to order one.

I have one and I love it. I don't have it in PE or CE right now so I can't directly compare them.
I bought mine too because it was a good deal and was not sure how much I would like it.
The serrations on its thin blade looked odd at first, but it really grew on me and I honestly would not trade it for a PE or CE Stretch at this point. Thinking about picking up one more.
Seems there are some knives you really like at first but they might lose some charm over time, this one I like more and more.
I bake crusty bread and for me this SE Stretch is the ultimate bread knife. I doubt PE would cut bread as well but it might still be the ultimate butter knife.
Joking aside, the ergonomics make any Stretch handle amazingly well.

I know there is a lot of dislike of SE on the forum but if you havent had one its a great time to try one for yourself because its one of those love it or hate it kind of things I think. I personally love SE and have several and would be all over it. And the Stretch 2 is an awesome design and one of my favorite knives.

Just happened on the website while looking at google images.gunnut35 wrote:The stretch is my favorite knife and for $45 i would get the se strech in a heartbeat. IF you could pm me the website ,[ if it's a website ] i would love to order one at that price.
In case you are still soliciting information it's howesknifeshop.
Also check out ebay seller poorfish. He is selling Stretch FRN CE and Delica ZDP knives right now. If you bid the Stretch CE up to around $30, and the Delica ZDP up to around $40, even if you don't win it he will send you a second chance offer for each at the price you bid plus $3.99 shipping. I just bought the Stretch CE for $33.50 with shipping and the Delica ZDP for about $50 with shipping on two second chance offers he sent me.
Actually, the ebay seller is poor_fish. A link to the ZDP delica is below. If you bid this up to around $40, chances are you will get a second chance offer even if you don't win.

Yes, the listing is still active. Search ebay for item number 360306035431.
I actually have a PE Stretch, and the ergos are so good I'm considering replacing my SE Para with a CE Stretch. In the time I've EDCed my SE Para (coming to 2 years now), I've found that I usually use only the tip for PE tasks, but I prefer the PE to be a little longer. Hence the CE Stretch.
We'll see. :)
