The Stretch 2 eked out a shadowy existence for a long time with the Spyderco knives from the Lightweight series. Among Spyderco fans, however, this model has long been an insider tip. Maybe you have ever wanted a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight? Here you go: the Stretch 2 with the K390 steel blade is basically just that.
Well, not exactly, of course. But the similarities between these two models is enormous. First of all, there's the extremely ergonomically shaped handle: thanks to the rounded FRN handle scales, which here have been kept in a very "tooly" steel blue, they fit incredibly well in your hand, so that even longer carving sessions won't cause you any pain. In the middle of the back of the blade you will find Spyderco's famous Mid-Lock, which can be operated effortlessly thanks to the Boye Detent.
The biggest similarity to the PM2 can be found in the blade. Thanks to the straight spine and the bulbous tip, you have a real workhorse of a pocket knife. Thanks to the material thickness of only 3mm, cutting with the Stretch is simply fun. The used K390 steel from Böhler is quite an exotic among today's knife steels. This powder-metallurgical tool steel is not only incredibly tough, but also has an insane cutting ability. The only thing you have to keep an eye on is corrosion - like most tool steels, K390 is not completely stainless.
The pocket clip you can of course convert to all 4 positions and the Stretch 2 thus adapt to your way of wearing. If the Spyderco PM2 was always a bit too angular for you, if you like exotic blade steels or if you fancy a large work knife, you'll be right at home with this model from Spyderco.

Das Messer kam mit zentrierte Klinge und rasierscharf, alles ok!
Der erste Sendung ist leider nicht angekommen, nach eine Email und Telefonat hat Altonaer ein Zweites geschickt das innerhalb 2 Tage bei mir In Holland war. Ick bin sehr zufrieden wie Altonaer das geklärt hat. Gerne mal wieder!
