Nice review, thanks. I recently got a k390 PM2 and it is a great knife, so I am VERY much looking forward to your PM2 vs Stretch head to head comparison.

Good review! I agree with everything you said. I love mine. I've carried it a ton since I got it a couple months ago. Got mine from Knifejoy. I also have the older Stretch in ZDP-189, but I like this straight back version much better. It doesn't cut any different, it just looks better lol. It holds an edge for a long time. I've only had to sharpen it once in all that time. I love this steel, and love this knife! I've tried both a Lynch clip as well as MXG gear on various Spydercos, and took them off and put the spoon clip back on. The spoon clip falls where I can't even feel it in hand, where the deep carry ones I do feel, and in heavy prolonged use creates a hot spot for me.

It’s been one of those knives that I really want to carry all the time. I have gotten some knives recently and it feels like I am only carrying them because I just got them. I can see myself carrying this knife a lot in the future. Thanks for watching

I see so many people obsessing over deep carry pocket clips. I have knives that came with them, and knives that didn’t. Of all the Spydercos I own, I have not felt compelled to purchase a new clip. I just don’t get it. 🤷♂️ If you’re really concerned with someone seeing that you have a knife in your pocket, just ditch the clip altogether. I mean, no matter how deep your knife carries, the pocket clip is still a dead giveaway that you have a knife in your pocket. And for me, with the standard pocket clip, when I draw my knife it’s where I need it to open it. A deep carry clip changes that in a negative way. I think “deep carry” is one of those parroting things that newbies see/read, and then believe it’s necessary for years to come. 🙄

I, too, have the older Stretch in ZDP-189, and also an Endura and Police 4 both in K390. The Endura is maybe my second favorite knife to carry behind only my Manix 2 in S110V. K390 is a wonderful steel and the straight spine Stretch is a lot better looking than the original (granted, it was designed as a folding hunter, at which it functions very well). I don’t think you could go wrong with this model, since the ergonomics should be better than on the Endura which doesn’t have a forward finger choil.

This was an awesome review man! I been looking at this knife for awhile (especially k390). Im more interested in how this one compares to the other k390 backlock models like the delica and endura and which one is the best buy. Love the vid and now im subscribed! Thanks for the insight!

I haven’t tried the endura but I had a delica a while ago. I would say to go with that series of knives if you want a better blade to handle ratio. If you don’t care about that, the forward finger choil on the stretch makes it very comfortable. Thanks for watching.

Very honest review, that's what I value most. I recently bought a police 4 in K390 and it's a super slicer, the edge last very long and it hasn't created any patine on it yet, but I really don't mind, I think it gives the knife more character, like those leather jackets with wrinkles on them, I like them more with them than without... Thanks for your review!

Thanks for the video. I've had mine for just over a month now and was curious what other people experiences were in regards to quality control. Some of the issues I've noticed with mine: Minor vertical blade play One screw for the pocket clip was stripped The lockbar face that meets the blade was ground on the angle. As a result only 25% of the lockbar contacts the blade when locked. Cannot get bade to center, tried all of the usual tricks short of a full disassembly and swapping the washers to opposite sides. I have no horizontal blade play but have to have my pivot tighter than yours. Enough where mine doesn't free drop but is still fairly smooth to open. My blade on the other hand came hair shaving sharp. All in all I think it's a great knife for $140 but still a step or two below Spyderco's Golden counterparts in regards to fit & finish and quality control.

Mine also has slight vertical blade play, it’s something I’ve noticed with a lot of my recent Spyderco back locks. They don’t fail with heavy pressure on the spine so it doesn’t bother me all that much. It stinks that yours has so many issue. I haven’t even adjusted the pivot in mine it was so dialed in from the factory. Thanks for watching

Mine has a bit of a funhouse effect going on with the angles on the lock bar and the blade too. And it’s also about 25% contact on the bar face. The blade is not perfectly straight either. The cutting edge is slightly canted so it isn’t exactly following the grind up to the spine. It’s hard to explain, but the blade looks straight if you look down from the spine, but if you flip it over and look from the cutting edge, it’s slightly crooked. Not super noticeable, but if you look down the edge, you can tell. But otherwise there is no play vertical or horizontal, and it performs like a champ. Enough that the little things I talked about, don’t bother me. I’d have exchanged it if it did.

I like backlocks. I like the stretch and I like the steel. The price is just about ok but I wish it were a touch lighter. I'll probably get one. The thing is I have the Manix2 and I have to justify having both knives.

Good review mate. This stretch looks way better the the endela. It has a better blade to handle fit when open and closed. There looks to be a lot more steel around the pivot pin which would make it stronger as well as more pleasing to look at , no gaps.

Was your bevel uneven ? Like 14° on one side / 17° on the other ? Other than that it cut like a monster. It came very sharp, with a Corse edge. I assume belt sharpened with a 220-240 belt then stropped on a leather belt. It was toothy with a somewhat polished bevel..... Either way it's got my edge now.

My factory edge was uneven but it wasn’t that bad so I was able to fix it on my first sharpening. One thing I noticed is that my factory edge wasn’t very sharp, so I just sharpened it out of the box. Thanks for watching

I would be fine with what they did if they sharpened it all the way back to the edge. They end up leaving a little room, and to fix it you either need to remove a lot of metal from the edge or cut in a choil
