:spyder: :) :D
I got my first in the mail today and I must say WOW.It is awesome and it came really sharp.After a few strokes on a leather stropp it is scary sharp,the grip is confortable for my hand and she just looks cool.I know tou have all seen a stretch before but you haven't seen mine.lol.
I think a veil or persian may be coming soon. :spyder:
Great knife choice, John. I used mine this past fall to completely disassemble an antelope out in Wyoming. It's a very reliable knife for hunting for everyday carry. :)

Great choice for your first spyder. I think the original Stretch is a great knife. Lots of people don't like the SS with Kraton inserts, but I find it very comfortable in the hand, as well as aesthetically pleasing. I don't actually have one yet, but have handled them many times. I'm currently on the lookout for one though.
Once again, great knife, great pics and welcome to the forum. :cool:

It most certainly does, but I had already previously voided the warranty with a 130 grain Winchester Ballistic Silvertip bullet! :eek: :) :D

I love my Stretch. It has a small ammount of blade play in both directions, but I can't complain for 'winning' it from a forum contest. :)
It's a bit large for my EDC, but as every other :spyder: it has great ergos.
Not too fond of the Krayton inserts because they are getting wrecked by my pants or something, it also makes it a bit harder to remove from the pocket, which could be good or bad.
Congratulations and enjoy your new fine knife. I like more the lightweight version myself, but that's merely because I simply have a weak spot for CF and ZDP.
The mind commands the body and it obeys. The mind orders itself and meets resistance.

.270? I used the silvertip once on a average buck,the bullet blew apart on a shoulder hit and failed to penetrate.He went down allright but I am not a fan of the silvertip.Perhaps antelope are be a better prospect for the silvertip.jmho

Thanks everyone for your welcome wishes.
.270 absolutely! So far I've dropped two antelope and a whitetail buck with 130 grain Ballistic Silvertips. All were one shot kills and I've been very pleased with the bullet's performance.
