Received another totally unexpected delivery from UPS. Darn near fainted when I opened the package. Think everyone here knows how I feel about the Stretch and, to me, this is the finest rendition of it yet. Can't thank Sal enough for this one. To say I'm ecstatic would be an understatement. :D

I know someone's bound to ask, but I have no idea whether this one will be put into production or not. Not sure what the wood is either, aside from being quite attractive. Weight is 138 grams / 4.75 ounces, liners are solid. Thickness is the same as the CF version, as are all other dimensions.
Pinned and no holes or screws in bolsters - other than holes for right hand carry it looks like it was made for you.
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

Hi Deacon,
Congratulations on a real treasure, from :spyder: THE MAN HIMSELF :spyder: !!!
To say that I am jealous, would be somewhat of an understatement! LOL!
Enjoy, You Now Are Blessed, Officially!

Congratulations Paul, I can imagine you lost words for a second, or two :)
Will definitely match up well to the rest of the Stretched gang !
The blue one is enjoyed here

Congrats on that phenomenal surprise, Deacon! That is a beautiful knife. Would like to see that in production! That wood looks just like what is on my Puma Hunter. I was just looking at it the other day.

Congrats on a great looking knife! This knife was among the concept models at the Amsterdam Meet, it had a cocobolo handle. Theoretically it could be a different model, but I guesstimate it's the or one of several versions made of that concept model.
Sal, does this mean the decision was made to put the bolstered Stretch with cocobolo handle into production or not at all?
I've heard you talk about this as a dream knife for quite a while, never really thought it would be that nice personally. But you have proved me wrong :) Looks very nice with the natural wood and bolsters, just need to lose the clip now. Congrats..
