Looking for a Stretch 2 ZDP-189 Carbon Fiber

[TheChunk91]

Does anybody know of a place that still has a Stretch 2 ZDP-189 Carbon Fiber *EDITED*

There have been a couple on bladeforums for sale recently but that has been the only place I have seen them in the last year besides eBay. Good luck in your search, great knife, I really enjoy mine.

CF Stretch is a GREAT knife...you are justified in wanting one. I found one (a user) on BF a few weeks ago. Just be diligent in your search (& maybe be willing to buy a user instead of NIB).

I just bought a NIB baby blue FRN stretch on BF yesterday. Yes, of course I'd like CF, but I had a blue FRN once, NIB, which I had to sell. This time, I'll keep it. I really don't carry these things, but I surely love to look at 'em.

Yeah ive been looking on BF but cant find any for sale at all. I have a green ZDP stretch but the CF looks so much better and is no doubt more solid feeling, I just want the CF to collect and ill carry my FRN more and maybe stonewash it. I will hopefully get lucky eventually though

Dang, I just sold one of my CF's on BF literally just this morning! It's my favorite knife and I have enough to last me several lifetimes so I passed it along.

I don't look at the FRN version as the "lesser" like some do. Sure, the CF is more prized but in use, the FRN with better grip, lighter weight, and ever so slightly smaller overall size has made it my go to EDC. Do not underestimate FRN's strength either! It's a tough knife.

Dont get me wrong, the frn performs all the same as the cf im sure but the cf is definately more high end (materials) and better looking (to me) so I want both, but what spydie nut doesnt haha.

It is certainly nicer with the full stainless steel liners but I also have a FRN/VG10 version and it is every bit the knife the carbon fiber one is and I don't hesitate to use it on something that may cause damage when I pull it out of my pocket.

[TheChunk91]

I would like to get a VG-10 as well, ZDP is great and I love it but I do not love that is rusts easily so carrying it in your pocket and using it while trying to prevent rust is a pain, mine has started developing a patina which looks bad to me on such a beautifully polished blade. Im wondering though if I stonewashed it would that hide the patina?
