Spyderco’s Stretch 2 XL Lightweight is the result of more than three decades of evolution that began with their classic folding hunting knife designs. Through years of relentless refinement, they arrived at a full-sized, full-service cutting tool that is incredibly lightweight and easy to carry. Now they have taken that evolution a step further by crafting that design with ultra-corrosion-resistant materials to make it a member of their elite Salt® Series of knives. Tipping the scales at a mere 3.0 ounces (84 grams), the Stretch 2 XL Lightweight Salt showcases a 3.99-inch (101mm) blade crafted from H-2 austenitic steel. Available in a choice of PlainEdge or fully serrated SpyderEdge formats, the hollow-ground blade is supported by a sturdy back lock mechanism housed in a lightweight fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle. The handle is injection molded in a bright yellow color for high visibility and features a non-slip Bi-Directional Texture pattern for optimal grip security, even when wet. The knife’s completely symmetrical design includes a fully configurable four-position pocket clip that provides a choice of tip-up or tip-down carry for both left and right-handed users.
