Can someone post a comparison shot Caly 3.5 and Stretch
just what it says i'm really leaning towards a caly 3.5 in cf and ZDP i wish i had bought a second CF stretch but i didn't so the caly is the closest thing now Thanks in advance
I have a Caly 3.5 and was thinking about buying a stretch until I saw this post...now I'm thinking, no need to step down to the stretch. CALY 3.5 RULES!

i thought they would be about even I've been carrying my cf stretch lately but my super acid sweat causes the ZDP to rust in a matter of hrs. Not to mention at work when i start sweating it's usually an 11hr event. The cutting edge is pretty much identical. It looks like my finger might hang off the caly or i might have to use the choil to get a full grip of course the stretch kinda cramps my hand up. Wish they made it like 1/2" longer or so. XL stretch would be my dream knife. Looks like the ZDP caly is going to be mine soon. Thanks again for the comparison

I’d say you all were some lucky buggers back around 8 years ago, when a lot of these were in circulation. At least on the secondary market as well

FWIW, I really like how slim the Caly 3.5 is. I have a ZDP FRN Stretch 2 and love it, but not for EDC purposes. The Caly just kinda disappears in your pocket. I love the Stretch 2 for outdoors uses though.
That said, anyone having both of those CF variants is lucky indeed.

Caly 3.5 for sure. I like the old drop point Stretch and new straight spine but the lines of the Caly win out every time.
