Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
It will be very interesting to see how these will sell. I am a big fan of this combination but the price could be the downfall of this knife. The price just does not compete with anything else in the models category. We will see. (I ordered one, btw)
Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
I am worried too. I really like this combo. Like a lot. I'm thrilled it is regular production and I hope sales are there to keep it around. We will see. Everything is going up, so who knows how it will stack up in a year or two.PeanutButterFan wrote: ↑Wed Nov 16, 2022 4:04 pmIt will be very interesting to see how these will sell.

Nice Beau. What are your first impressions up against the Chief?

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
Definitely a knife that was never on my radar, not even close. Those comparisons with the Chief have me intrigued!

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
I'm pretty excited to snag one soon. I couldn't bring myself to buy the VG10 and black FRN model, because I'm a snob at this point. I expected to wait another year or so and see if a K390 XL Stretch happens, but this gray Cruwear one is a winner. It'll look cool next to the Ayoob and the Baby Horn.

I found it interesting that my Cruwear Military weighed in @ 4.3 oz compared to the Stretch that we were gifted from Spyderco which came in @ 4.5 oz; they feel the same…

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
Curious about this shade of gray. Can someone perhaps post a picture to compare this gray G10 with the Cruwear PM2 sprint or the Maxamet PM2?

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
That looks great! I think I'm still more interested in the Lightweight in a different steel.
Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
I got mine today and I'm glad I pulled the trigger. Best new design in a while IMO, and I love the slim G10 versions.

Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
That’s a good looking knife
Re: Stretch 2 XL in grey G10 and CruWear steel!
These comparison pictures are selling it. It's times like this, I think it is ingenious having a forum for your product.
So it looks like it is slimmer, and takes up just as much space in the pocket as the PM2. Behind the choil, the PM2 is a little cramped for me, but that extra bit of space for the pinky on the Stretch looks great.
