Stretch XL discussion

[z1r]

Any other steels in the works for this big guy?

K390 , CruWear, and a Sprint SPY27 . No time line . MG2

Wow, I want. I have a problem I think!

The sprint really appeals to me since I don’t have SPY27 ( I know my bad ) and just a prediction the scales should be a different color . All three steels will satisfy just about everyone. Who know , exclusive models could be on the horizon. Dan

I've been using my Spy27 N5 more recently and really like how easy it was to sharpen. Edges that last for ever are nice, but so are edges that are super easy to maintain. Are you into Mule Teams?

I got the first in 52100 and sold it a couple years ago . I only have the Magnacut and having a custom sheath made so it’s at the shop .

I hugely regret not following the Mule teams .

I'll probably get one in SPY27 or Cruwear. I like the size, how lightweight it is and it's the best looking Stretch IMO.

Surely a Salt will happen...?

It has everything going for it to fall into that category. Potential is there if sales are promising . I would be in line for a Salt model . Dan

I litterally said I'll take it the secomd I saw it. I feel exactly like you do about size, weight, looks, and feel.

After sharpening my Spy27 N5 recently, I really appreciate how easy it is to sharpen and how keen an edge you can get with so little effort. Definitely down for one of eack, the knife is that good!

Ouch, I think I would have liked the 52100. I got the Magnacut, just installed the scales that FullScaler so generously offered in his contest. I still need to post pics, I love the way the scales look.

I walked into the SFO a week or two ago and lo and behold, there was one lone S45VN MT. I snagged it in a hurry.

You like S45VN or Spy27 better?

I have never tried SPY27 yet but did have a PM2 in S45VN and liked it but sold it when I was able to get a lefty PM2 . The grind was phenomenal probably one of the best I have ever received from Spyderco . If I go with SPY27 , It would probably be the XL or Manix2 . Dan

Thanks for that!

This is the first pic of a "real" Stretch XL SE I see (I may post the pic from the KnifeWorks page below).

So far all I am aware of showed probably / perhaps just "photoshopped" serrations of different kinds, so one could not be sure how exactly the particular serration pattern on the Stretch XL SE would look like

Now this seems to be an actual photo of a Stretch XL SE, and I like what I see:

- Rather shallow serrations it seems
- And a good amount of PE towards the tip

Salt, Salt, Salt!

[cabfrank]

By the way, aren't serrations like a box of chocolates?

[Wartstein]

By the way, aren't serrations like a box of chocolates?

Kind of... whenever a model comes out in SE for the first time..

Looks great , my list is getting bigger not smaller ! Dan

[Coastal]

I thought I would buy the SE as soon as it dropped, but based on the PE that arrived a few days ago, I've decided to wait. If it were a Salt I'd jump on it right away, but I'ma wait on a few reports from forumites before buying this one.

I hope when these steels are released there's a new SXL thread for them? That's how I watch for releases...if the discussion goes deep into a thread like this, I'll prolly miss it.

Dang, the CE has nearly as much useable PE as a Delica. Not quite but still!
