K390 Leafjumper or stretch

[Sanpaku]

My "sweet spot" for EDC is 2.95"-3.25" blade length, and I pondered the LeafJumper as my first K390 blade for weeks. What ultimately cast my decision for the larger Stretch 2 is two distinctions:

• The Stretch 2 has jimping on the thumb ramp (as well as of course, the 50/50 choil), which in the Sage and Native 5 greatly improves my confidence in the grip (if not my actual grip). In the LeafJumper, the thumb ramp is left smooth.
• The 1.5" of the Stretch 2 sharpened edge nearest the ricasso is nearly as flat as a true wharncliffe. The material being cut isn't being drawn away to the tip or towards the ricasso by the edge curvature. I like leaf blades in the Sage and Native 5 too, but wanted something different.

If the LF sells so well as the posts here would suggest, I would not be surprised if we would get an XL version later down the road (like it happened with Stretch). I will be getting LF later this year.

There is already a prototype called the Sequoia.

FINALLY someone else mentions this too...

....(I do it all the time. The long, totally straight, wharnie - ish section in the edge before the belly rises of all Stretch variants is one of the main reasons why I like this platform so much. Just transfers power and cuts better in most tasks (that I do) than a continuously curved edge
Also one of the reasons why the Stretch is not an "FRN backlock PM2" for me (PM2 having that curved edge))
