Stretch XL SE in H2, now I get it!

I purchased the stretch XL H2 SE when DACK had it for $75 on a whim. I’m glad I did as I now understand what all the fuss is about with the SE and the model. There is a lot of blade for the handle size. I’m a plain edge kind of guy, but the SE blade seems thin, is extremely slicey and just wants to cut the heck out of anything I put in front of it. I think the Stretch XL in K390 is next for me to try.
Thanks again Spyderco.

Glad you found out how good SE and the Stretch family really is! :clinking-mugs
I am afraid though that there is no Stretch XL in K390.... (yet..?)

My bad. The regular K390 Stretch PE, and the K390 SE Delica are on my list.
Thanks,
Bruce

I have the K390 Stretch but definitely fine myself grabbing for the Manix LE MagnaCut more often for some reason. Can’t put my finger on why but I might just like the Manix platform better.

Was very tempted by the Stretch XL H2 SE, great looking knife.
