ZDP Stretch 2. They've seemed rare-ish lately and I have not yet owned a Stretch model. As I have a good bit of K390 already I opted for the ZDP and older blade shape.

Nice! I've almost gone for that a few times. I prefer the older drop point shape. My V-Toku Stretch 2 is a favorite of mine.

Just grabbed a Super Blue Stretch 1 for a great price. Super excited as I only have one SB (Caly Jr) and have never owned a Stretch 1.

BHQ Lum Tanto offa the webs. Hap 40 & tantos are kinda my jam!!

I just ordered two Civilians, from authorized dealer NC Blade, through the evil-bay. Now and then, I will order spares, of a knife I particularly like, as a hedge against discontinuation. My defensive blade training moved up several notches, starting in 2003, when I attended a small amount of training with Bram Frank, and then other instructors, which relegated my two Civilians to reserve status. Well, I will soon reach age sixty, and some body parts articulate a bit less, these days, and I am moving noticeably slower, so, it seems like a good idea to resume carrying blades that are suited to less-skilled usage.

Plus, a retired LEO cannot carry handguns as many places as an active LEO, which increases the importance of carrying defensive-oriented blades. I am retired, now.

Sadly none.

Shhhhhhhh.... it's a secret!

Manix 2 in M390, very excited about this one.

This morning, the mailman delivered a Tenacious LW SE. (you don't need a picture, do you?)

And in the afternoon, I walked by the Post Office to pick up a UK Pen Knife, Heinnie Haynes Edition: leaf-shaped FFG blade in S30V with red G-10 scales and a full-length back spring.

Nice mail day!

Welcome to the forum!!

A few days ago, I ordered a ZDP Stretch 1, but the shop had a messed up inventory and they gave me a Stretch 2 instead - they didn't had the Stretch 1 in stock at all.

I liked it, well put together, centered, pleasantly and confidence inducingly hefty. But it really is like a PM2 a lot so I decided to return it.

I got my refund and now I think I will just keep waiting for the SE Police, the XL Stretch and the imminent reveal.

Bladeops Elmax Exclusive

Happy to report I've got a Salt UKPK on its way. The first Spyderco I've purchased in months which is a weird feeling in itself.

Finally going to try an Advocate

Had to be strong to resist the new Elmax PM2, (already have the old BBS one), but ended up buying a PM2 in S45VN instead

Fantastic knife! My only nitpick is the flipper tab, it could definitely be smaller and or shaped differently to make it a perfect design.
