Stretch

The Spyderco Stretch has changed over the years. What started out as the basic Hunter model in the 1980's has matured into a modern high-performance drop-point folder. The Stretch is available in a variety of handle materials and blade steels. This C90BLE model is the latest, and features a Blue FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) handle. The ZDP-189 modified drop-point blade is ground thin and fully-flat with an arcing belly, which is a winner for outdoor endeavors and EDC (Every Day Carry) alike. The back lock is positioned mid-spine, and the Blue FRN handle is injection molded and surfaced with Bi-Directional Texturing. This special texturing delivers tactile resistance results, perfect in harsh, wet or slippery cutting circumstances. The steel pocket clip can be positioned for left or right carry, tip-up or tip-down.
