Stretch™ 2 XL

The Stretch™ 2 XL Lightweight is the newest member of a proud lineage of cutting tools that has spanned more than three decades. The earliest knives in this family were optimized for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts but later evolved to become true all-purpose tools. Inspired by its progenitor, the Stretch 2, the XL version extends the design’s overall length by eight percent, while packing 13 percent more blade length into its straight-spined, full-flat-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade. Despite its larger size, its linerless fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle actually reduces its weight by 29 percent compared to the Stretch 2, which has stainless steel liners. Its injection-molded handle features a sturdy back lock mechanism, a Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for a positive grip, and a fully configurable four-position pocket clip. Offering XL-sized performance in a package weighing a scant 2.7 ounces (77 grams), this impressive knife is available in PlainEdge™, partially serrated CombinationEdge™, and fully serrated SpyderEdge™ formats.
