Ist the phosphor bronze alloy of Spydercos washers technically a metal or not?

The Pac Salt does not have washers or liners. The Endura/Endela/Delica line does have washers and liners.

So, too, the non-XL Stretches.

I do wish the XL had been linered and washered like its overbuilt brethren, but I guess saltwater is in its future (as is, the Pac Salt is my go-to for that environment).

Why do you say that? I’m only asking as I was wondering about replacing my frn P4 with a Stretch XL.

I would have preferred a more robust knife for such a big knife, even while being floored by how light the XL actually is.
