Stretch: Great model, especially the discontinued Stretch 1, a real classic and still to be found. Would be a great candidate for wood scales imho...
DANG. The stretch 1 i was watching on ebay just sold for 70. I didnt think it would sell for that little.
:eek: This would have been a really good price, even if the knife was used...
Don´t know why this went for such little money - I guess the Stretch 1 is still underestimated by many, while most who really tried it seem to love the model.
Anyway, as said, it still can be had new (though for twice the 70 USD),and even in HAP 40 for around 190 - the latter being worth every cent and more imho!!
And the Stretch 2 is a great option too of course!
Perhaps even better ergos for larger hands, and a deeper, wider choil for those who like that (which I guess are most, not me though)
It just does not offer that great edge to handle ratio (longer closed package than the "1" but less cutting edge) and not the "hook" on the handle end which I really like on a bit larger folders (and not at all on small ones...
)
