Blade 2021…best in show.

[kobold]

A couple of larger folders like the Stretch XL G10 and the SE Police is exactly what I need.
This thread is music to my ears. :)

Hi Sal, so will there be a G-10 XL version available at any point?

(I only ask because the Stretch2 w/Brown G-10 is my favourite Stretch and one of my very favourite knives ever)

:D

This one (only) came in ZDP 189, right?!

Yep, it's my favourite model from either the v1 or v2 series, it's such a solid knife... I'm actually planning to stick a K390 blade in it as soon as I can get my hands on one. :D



It's not a lightweight knife, but it's one of the finest G10 folders Spyderco has ever made IMO. :)

I am sure it is! :)

What many don't know: The G10 Stretch 2 has also a longer blade than all the FRN Stretch 2 - not by much, but noticeable I think.

It really isn't noticeable IMO... it's late, but tomorrow I'll take a couple close up pics

I hope Sal will answer the question if there will be a G10 Stretch XL, or just the FRN version....

I wouldn't be surprised if it is G10 for prototyping and FRN for production.

A G10 Stretch XL might be my perfect folding knife. Fingers crossed for this one!

Yes, There will be a G-10 version.

I can't wait on this. I was on board the first time Sal mentioned this knife.

[JRinFL]

Not that it matters much to me, but is it the classic Stretch blade or the straight spine?

I favor the classic, but is it an option?

[olywa]

Any word on what steel will be used for the initial release?

Ideally? Cruwear. Hopefully? K390. Possibly? S30V. Most likely? VG10.

Yes, There will be a G-10 version.

That is excellent news! Thank you Sir!

Please, oh please, let it be the classic Stretch blade shape...

[Wartstein]

Straight spine... (I'd have slightly preferred "classic", but not a dealbreaker)

Oh no... :eek: is this confirmed??

Well, at least Lance wrote in the very first post of this thread (quote): "My feeling on holding the new (straight spine) XL was that it was essentially a backlock pm2 on steroids....)"

[sal]

The first run will be Straight Spine. In the future, anything is possible depending on your demand. The FRN (black) version will begin with VG-10 in 3 configs. The G-10 version will begin with a special steel. Alternate steels for both versions will depend on you.

Thank you Sal. Dare I ask what special steel, Magnacut perhaps? That will break the internet, for sure.

Ha, well. My eyes skipped right over that in the first post. :o
