Spyderco Stretch 2 Knife Brown G-10 (3.5″ Satin ZDP-189) C90GBNPE2

This Stretch 2 folder features brown G-10 scales over a stainless steel frame and a ZDP-189 steel blade!

Despite the many advantages of Spyderco’s lightweight knife, some users prefer the greater heft and strength of a more robust handle construction. The new Stretch 2 delivers this in style by expressing this proven design with full skeletonized stainless steel liners, a stainless steel back spacer, textured brown G-10 scales, and a stainless tube lanyard hole. Like its lightweight counterpart, it also features an ultra-high-carbon ZDP-198 steel blade, a stout back lock mechanism with a Boye Dent, and a versatile four-position hourglass clip.

The Spyderco C90 Stretch started as a pet-project lockback knife design. Spyderco’s 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 wouldn’t scare non–knife people and made it look slick on the off chance he’d someday have to wear a suit.
