Good point Kenneth... I feel like waiting for a prettier version to be honest... Gray G10 is very functional but oh so boring. I like Cruwear though.

I love the gray G10... Classy and not black.

That last pic is making this hard to resist. I was holding out for the next Military but this XL ticks a lot of boxes.

Same here. Holding out for a potential surprise Military, but these pics are not making the wait easier :worried.

Hopefully, being a regular production model, these will be around for a little while.

Why resist this SXL? Don't you already own a Military? :winking-tongue :bug-red-white

Haha! You caught me. Yes I do, but .... I don't own an SNK version that may or may not drop by the end of the year. Who knows. It may be first quarter of 2023. That is too long to wait to get my hands on a SXL.

And your picture is not helping.

BHQ has them in stock.

Sorry, it's only a pre-order.

I just noticed that these starting to pop up here in Europe (though shipping dates are around end of November). But at 2x the price if the Cruwear PM2 I guess I will not be getting one right away. It does look super nice and I expect it is nothing short of perfect. Still, I payed 260€ for the Ayoob (which is a mechanical perfection), CruCarata PM2 is around 200€, so in relative comparison 380€ for the Stretch feels expensive. Still want one. Maybe next year.

I never realized how good this knife looks until pictures started popping up. They are way better than the ones in the reveal.

Agreed! It probably sold more than a few already.

DLT is the only vendor I bother with anymore. If they don’t have it, I’ll look at KSF. If they don’t have it, I may not bother.

Is this the same G10 as on the Ayoob? That one looks really good in person.
