I’m in for a Delica , Endela , Endura G10 . MG2cjk wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 3:59 pmJust posting to echo the 'I'd love an Endela and a Delica' version in this construction, especially wharncliffes.
I really dig the Seki full liner backlock G-10 models. I wouldn't mind even if there was like only one a year. It'd be easier on the wallet since I'd hope to pick up a couple of each.
The Endela hasn't gotten a fancy model except for the pakkawood knifecenter exclusive. It seems like it's a good enough seller for retailers to order exclusives. It'd be super cool in a G-10 version or even a Ti version. I'm a bigger fan of the wharncliffe, but I dig both Endela blade shapes.
I'd love to see a factory G-10 wharncliffe Delica. The normal blade Delica has been done in G-10 a couple of times already.
Edit: Endura too, but the G-10 Endura has been done before as well. The wharnie hasn't though!!!

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
If someone has both Stretch 2 XL Cruwear and Stretch 2 G-10 Brown ZDP-189 (C90GBNE2), could you please post a quick photo side by side?
I have Cruwear Stretch and like it (how not to!) but also thinking more and more about original "weird" blade shape one. I don't own any ZDP-189 Stretch yet and would like know if they are different enough to justify having both. Thanks!

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
Thank you! I don't know if actually you put Stretch 1 intentionally, but it is clear for me, that I need to look for Stretch 1 instead of 2! :D Such a beautiful proportions of the blade and handle.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 6:37 amStas wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 1:54 amIf someone has both Stretch 2 XL Cruwear and Stretch 2 G-10 Brown ZDP-189 (C90GBNE2), could you please post a quick photo side by side?

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
I thought I would give you a little variety. The Stretch CF is a long time favorite . The Brown is a fine variation . I almost bought one last year , but thinking about a FRN model to add to Stretch tribe . Hope the K390 and Salt model will come out in the XL sooner than later . MG2

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
Thanks once again. Now I'm on slow lookout for Stretch CF or some other Strech 1 version :) As I have Stretch XL G10, it seems like brown will be almost identical size handle, just with the smaller and different blade.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 7:21 amI thought I would give you a little variety.

Bento Box Shop had the HAP40 and a few others. Pricey but it's an option.

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
I bought the brown G10 Stretch from Botach probably close to a year ago. The knife was fine. This was my first experience with the Stretch and I hated the choil so I returned it. Botach's return process is ill-defined but doable. I would buy from them again if they had what I wanted.
Y'all know Heinie Haynes has the brown G10 Stretch, right?

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
Nothing super new to say really other than I still love love love the grey G-10 Stretch 2 XL.
The shape of the edge side of the blade on the Brown G-10 Stretch 2 is the same as the straight spine Stretch 2. Only the spine shape appears different to me. I'm certain I've compared my brown one and K390 one side by side and was a bit surprised by this. Does one need both? Need is a funny word.
Probably not, but really what percentage of these are legitimate need-based purchases?
The Brown G-10 one works better in one particular grip where I've choked up and put my thumb on the spine of the blade. My thumb fits perfectly on the spine of that differently shaped blade.

Nice! Thanks for the info. Does your Brown G10 Stretch 2 still finding some pocket time since you got G-10 Stretch 2 XL? Or XL goes to the pocket when you feel like wearing Stretch?cjk wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 9:40 amNothing super new to say really other than I still love love love the grey G-10 Stretch 2 XL.

I love them all, just don’t want to collect all Stretches after XL has opened my eyes to this platform. Would like to add it if they are both different enough to rotate.

I still like and use the brown one. One did not replace the other, I only got another option to carry and use.Stas wrote: ↑Mon May 01, 2023 1:41 pmNice! Thanks for the info.

Neither of these made me want to collect a whole set. I only have these two and the K390 FRN one.
I bought the brown one with the intention of putting a K390 blade in it, but I liked the brown one too much as it is.
However, the serrated Stretch 2 XL lightweight is definitely on my list of wants, but it is not on my list because of these other Stretch models.
