Anyone know the blade thicknesses of the CF Stretch vs. the Para D2?

I'm thinking of testing the trade waters of the D2 for a CF Stretch but want to see how thick the CF's blade is. The Stretch is one of the Spydercos Ive not owned or even handled but wanted for awhile now. Ive owned 4 Paras...

My specs searching was fruitless as far as blade thicknesses.

Thanks.:thumbup:
 
The Stretch is considerably thinner. According to my dial caliper, the CF Stretch is 0.111" thick at the tang, the CPM D2 Para measures 0.145" thick at the tang.
 
OK thanks.

I think I'll buy an FRN version to see how it works with my hand.:thumbup:

Just for future reference, the online spyderco catalog usually lists blade thickness. And can normally be found on one of the first links brought up by googling "spyderco stretch" or whatever model you are looking for.

http://spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=278
lists the stretch as 3mm thick.

And the D2 is listed as 4mm.

Yes...but the odd thing is that both the Para2 and the Para1 CPM-D2 are 3.5mm - the catalog is wrong (at least for the Para1 D2 sprint)! :)
