This Stretch 2 Lightweight folder revives the original design, with a longer handle and refinded ergonomics. It features blue FRN scales over a stainless steel frame with a Bohler K390 steel blade. The new Stretch 2 delivers a lightweight hunting folder, with full skeletonized stainless steel liners, a stainless steel back spacer, textured FRN scales, and a tube lanyard hole. It has a Bohler K390 steel blade, a stout back lock mechanism with a Boye Dent, and a versatile four-position hourglass clip. The Spyderco Stretch started as a pet-project lockback knife design. Spydercos owner and chief designer Sal Glesser made it for his personal use, incorporating features he wanted. He wanted high performance blade steel with edge retention super-powers for outdoor cutting: things like wood, rope and anything encountered in the wild. It had to work equally well indoors on cardboard, mail and fingernails. He sized it so it wouldnt scare nonknife people and made it look slick on the off chance hed someday have to wear a suit.
