I assume you asked if we will see a Salt version of this new Stretch?? I think that would be a big seller for sure in FFG LC200N. Those toxic green scales we keep hearing about paired with TiCN coating?? Sign me up for both a PE and SE.

Re: Congrats Spyderco!
Oh man! A lockback PM2 type knife. That would be the bees knees and if it could be had in a Salt version, that would be just that much better. I can't keep up with all of the goodness coming out of Spyderco these days.

Lance, Sal-- is there another name in the works rather than straight spine stretch?Surfingringo wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2019 6:18 pmYes, it still has the edge profile and belly of the stretch but with a straight spine like a Millie.

Re: Congrats Spyderco!
Congratulations on the award for the ParaManix LW :D In all seriousness though, the Para3 LW is very nice and deserved that win.
I also quite liked the sun and moon Chaparral. It looked like a very classy little knife with its polished G10 scales and inlays.
This was my first time to BLADE Show and I had a lot of fun checking out the prototype case. I probably spent way too much time there but all the new designs and concepts were just too interesting to move on from. Meeting Sal, Eric, Alex, and Lance was also a big highlight for me :spyder:

Re: Congrats Spyderco!
The new Para2 handle materials/textures/designs in the prototype case were really awesome and caught my eye right off the bat. The best I remember they were labeled water, hourglass, leather, tortoise. I got to hold one of the new Para2 blade shape models, gave the blade a slight tactical feel to me. Wish they were already for sale.
