What a perfect Spyder.

Thin, light sharp. This is my favorite production knife right now. Perfect lock up and incredible build qaulity. Cuts through denim blue jeans like butter.

The Stretch 2 is one of my all-time favourites. The ZDP steel is a PITA to sharpen compared to the origenal Stretch VG-10, but it is a dream knife nonetheless. It just doesn't make it into my EDC rotation because of the H1 Mariner being much more tenacious (!) than I ever thought.

When I read that, I expected E.R. pictures. :eek:

I love my Stretch II as well.
I don't believe in safe queens, only in pre-need replacements.

+1 on the virtues of the Stretch II. :D I still favor the VG-10 one STR tricked out for me, but the Stretch II is my favorite straight production large folder, and about the only one I carry anymore.

This knife is just some serious fun... I am looking for stuff to cut. I feel like a kid on Christmas... Tomatoes don't stand a chance. Just made a salad with it. :D

Been there and done that.

Note to self: when stropping off a wire edge on your denim pant leg pant pay close attention there are no elevated wrinkles in the fabric. I never even realized the fabric was cut until I saw it later.

A pant leg works good for stropping if you give it just a bit of titanium dioxide.

I tend to not do that anymore.
Not really all that slick ;)
