Straight Spine Stretch in Orange and Flat Dark Earth

[DocT]

I really want a Straight Spine Stretch in orange or Flat Dark Earth (Spring or Fall). This is a hunting knife and orange is a perfect color for that. On the other hand, for camo, nothing beats FDE for all terrain.

I also would like a steel upgrade to S30V, S45VN, or SPY27. Higher end steels are too hard to sharpen in the field, but these should do nicely.

I hope Sal or someone sees this and gives it consideration.

Hi DocT,

Perhaps one of the "Exclusive's" customers would follow up? I'm currently working on a larger 4.0" version. Also need a new name for the larger version.

Wow! This is truly great news if it is going to be a backlock.

 

[Zenturio]

4 inch blade sounds badass. I think I would buy one. Cobalt blue FRN with a Spy-27 blade

Name could be Super Stretch.

Yes,

My kind of knife.

Extend, Extention, something like that. I like the idea Sal, I'll buy one.

 

[Centermass]

Absolutely! I love the straight spine version of the Stretch, and I love the idea of a larger version. I think K Knifeknut808 is on the right track with his name idea.

Thinking in that vein, but going further (pun intended), in physiological terms, when you’ve gone beyond stretching a muscle, you “Hyperextend” it. I was thinking since the larger Yojimbo is the Yojumbo, maybe another superlative-type title for this larger version of an existing model... unless, of course, you’ve got an even bigger one in the works...

I think Spyderco REACH would be appropriate, or BEYOND.
thanks for listening,Troy

Sal, will the 4" version be a straight spine?

 

[Sal Glesser]

Hi Blacksmith,

yes.

Outstretch?

Stretch Armstrong?

 

[AntDog]

How about “lift”? Because first you stretch to limber up, then lift the weights to work the muscles.

 

[King of the Cheese]

Why not dye it the color you want? Although it would still be VG-10, it’s a start.

This is what I ended up with with my experiments. It’s sort of a reddish brick like in color. I don’t think orange or FDE would be hard to achieve at all using the right dye/time.

Simply put: "Stretched"

 

[oldmanwilly]

Outstretch?

Stretch Armstrong?

Took the words straight from my mouth. Perhaps shorten it to just "Armstrong"?

I like “Extend” or “stretched”. Those are both good ideas from above members
