Thanks for the pics Paul. I don't have a strech yet. FRN might convince me.

Cool pics Paul!

The new FRN Strech is awesome, but I would be tempted to buy the CF n ZDP steroids one :D

I'm getting blue one for sure! Perhaps black FRN with some teeth also :D

Hi Paul,

Very nice pictures, this one is high on my "wish to have " list.
I am also waiting for the ZDP-189 in blue FRN. :rolleyes:

many thanks,

Regards,

Werner

Thanx for the pics Paul :cool:

Hope I have a job again when they hit the streets.

After all of your praising I'm very anxious to try a FRN Stretch/SE to find out for myself

Looks like killer ergo's for my big mitt :D

Still no fan of FRN but I suspect I'll be making an exception for this one. :D

This one does feel nice in the hand Sam, thickness is close to that of my Lignum Vitae one, which I find more comfortable for extended use than the CF Stretch II, plus it has the finer jimping on the spine. Was playing around with more colorful backgrounds this morning, so here are a few more shots to tempt you into FRN. :D

No need to tempt me, Paul. I'm sold on the idea already. The D'Allara has already persuaded me that FRN isn't all bad, I just prefer the look of CF and G-10. No steel snob here, just a handle material snob!

:D :o Finances being tight also enhances the appeal by quite a margin.

I'm soooooooooooooo pumped for this.... :cool:

Do you know when this lil' beauty will be released to the public?

Wasn`t planning on buying another knife for awhile, until this. Thank you Deacon, may I send you the bill?

tonydahose · #13

soooo....have you carried it around Paul? :D

Paul, I share your love for the Stretch and was in pleasant anticipation for your 1st pictures. Seems to be another good knife and a good seller too.

When can we see some kitchen test of your FRN-Stretch, Sir? :cool:

Beautiful photos, Paul. And they make me love my CF Stretch 2 even more.

I'm not a fan of FRN in any form, or of molded logos, but I'm glad that the affordability of this model will put the Stretch in more hands. It's the best knife I've ever owned... and because I'm not a hard user, I don't worry about the additional comfort of the wider handle, but it was good of you to mention it. I'm sure that will be a factor for many people who want to put this knife to work.

Cheers,
Don

Excellent photography Paul. I am very excited about the FRN Stretch. I've wanted to try out the CF Stretch II, but it was always out of my price range. This one I will be picking up multiples of. May end up hoarding some of these. :D

spydutch · #18

You make the greatest pics Paul. You even made me almost buy a Kiwi a good while ago :eek: :D

And you certainly do it again now.

I soooo want a Stretch/SE :)

Very nice pics Paul! I use Stretch CF. It's great knife :)

yowzer · #20

Man, another upcoming knife to add to the wish list? I'm going to need a second job just for the knife and flashlight fund.

I keep thinking of the Stretch as a bigger, burlier version of the Centofante 3. This is a good thing.
