I was going to get a black on black Manix 2 XL. But now I am thinking about a Stretch in Super Blue. A total 180 considering these knives are like apples to oranges. There are just TOO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM!!!
 
I think the Stretch is much much better for EDC. Perfect size and ergos and weight for me. Love the Superblue.

 
I also think the Stretch is a better EDC. The Manix 2 is an awesome knife but I find the Stretch carries better and slices better. I don't have a Manix 2 XL, but I prefer the Stretch to the regular Manix for ease of carry so I'm sure I'd prefer it to the XL.

 
Yeah the XL is a rather large knife. I prefer larger knives, but between the two, the Stretch saw more pocket time. It's a great size for a rather large range of EDC tasks. The Manix XL was often more blade than was necessary.

Is $116 delivered to my door a good price for a Stretch Super Blue Sprint Run? Hope so cause I just ordered it. Seemed like a good price. I had a hard time finding one in stock. How long ago did they make these?
 
Not a terrible price. If you watch the exchange forum, you would have probably saved $20-25.
 
I think you will be glad you got the Stretch, especially in Superblue. It is the most practical and useful folder I've ever owned.
 
I'm still loving mine, think you will too. IME, it holds it edge better than almost any other knife I own. My Stretch in ZDP and my Manix lightweight in S110v are the only ones that come close, and they seem pretty comparable to each other in my daily work chores so far, which include a decent amount of rope, often 1/2"-3/4" hemp (manila) rope, canvas, and lots of cloth tape. Occasional carpet cutting as well. Great blade!
