There have been a couple on bladeforums for sale recently but that has been the only place I have seen them in the last year besides eBay. Good luck in your search, great knife, I really enjoy mine.

CF Stretch is a GREAT knife...you are justified in wanting one. I found one (a user) on BF a few weeks ago. Just be diligent in your search (& maybe be willing to buy a user instead of NIB).
Apparently, arachnophobia is not a condition from which I suffer.... :spyder:

Dang, I just sold one of my CF's on BF literally just this morning! It's my favorite knife and I have enough to last me several lifetimes so I passed it along.
I don't look at the FRN version as the "lesser" like some do. Sure, the CF is more prized but in use, the FRN with better grip, lighter weight, and ever so slightly smaller overall size has made it my go to EDC. Do not underestimate FRN's strength either! It's a tough knife.

It is certainly nicer with the full stainless steel liners but I also have a FRN/VG10 version and it is every bit the knife the carbon fiber one is and I don't hesitate to use it on something that may cause damage when I pull it out of my pocket.

I would like to get a VG-10 as well, ZDP is great and I love it but I do not love that is rusts easily so carrying it in your pocket and using it while trying to prevent rust is a pain, mine has started developing a patina which looks bad to me on such a beautifully polished blade. Im wondering though if I stonewashed it would that hide the patina?
