We have a dark burgundy suggestion, Wine might be nice, A nice brown had been suggested, as well as a midnight or darki blue. I always liked gray, but it seems I'm an oddball there.

Whatchathink?

I know I will buy one no matter what color, but I would much prefer neutral colors. Such as dark grey, navy blue, BROWN (awesome), ect.

I'd like to see it in dark blue, but brown would work too.

Top choices for me would be:

DARK NAVY BLUE

DARK GREEN (even darker than this, like the Forest Green Ladybug and Jester)

DARK GREY (a few shades darker than the Grey Calypso Jr.)

Wine would also work for me, assuming it's not the Burgundy that was used on the Forum Vesuvius. That was so dark that it looks black in anything but very strong light. But I'm not sure whether the general user community would go for it.

Colors aren't a big issue but I'd like the BRG to stay with ZDP only models. Joe

The FRN Stretch is going to be great. I think it's safe to assume it will have VG-10?

Burgundy/wine would be great. There's no other major factory knives that color, I believe. Pretty much every knife I have is black - now, I like black, but some subdued color would be very nice (I don't want an orange knife).

Any chance of getting something in a 4 inch length? Or 3.9, as is common? The Military has such a perfect blade but I'm not a big fan of the handle. The stretch 2 handle (and the chinook 3) for that matter would be great with a 3.9 stretch 2 style blade. You could call it the Stretch 3.9. :D

Ah, that's excellent news Sal. I think I'm going to have to get a second Stretch II then, that's what I think/know. Thanks for tweaking this already great design!
