Caly 3.5 or Stretch?

i own neither but i'm sure of one thing: i prefer a solid zdp 189 blade to a laminate. no technical reasons. just me.

Is the handle on the Stretch as wide as it looks? One of the things I like about my Endura is the slimline nature of it. I have a Caly 3 and due to the G10 it feels chunkier than the larger Endura.

I think the Stretch has a very comfortable handle. I think the handle fills the hand nicely like a larger version of the Native.
 
Hey CreativeGuy,

Just so you know you're breaking a pretty important rule by posting something for sale outside of the exchange. If I were you I'd edit all of that out before it gets you some infractions.
 
Thanks, CrimsonTideShooter. My bad... definitely don't want to break the rules or get an infraction.
 
I think the caly 3.5 is better suited for an office environment with the low ride clip and the slimmer nature of the blade. I carry my Super Blue Caly 3.5 almost every day and I would recommend the 3.5 to anyone.

I agree, but since I work in a place with a legal limit of 3", the more "polite" nature of the Caly 3.5's appearance is of no real advantage to me.
 
I got my zdp caly today and i am in loveeeeee. Cant wait for the super blue to come in tomorrow!
 
Having owned both. I like both.
The Stretch is the one that I prefer though.
Though it if had more of a rounded choil it'd be even more perfect.
But I say, get the ZDP-189 Stretch. It's a gorgeous knife.
 
I have all three of the Caly 3.5's - love them! I wasn't going to use the zdp CF but it kept finding it's way into my pocket. I used it all weekend working on my 66 Chevelle and it worked great opening packages, cutting fuel line, etc... Dang that thing is sharp!

Not sure which Endura you're using as a comparator, but the FRN Stretch and FRN Endura 4 handles are exactly the same thickness (side to side) and the Stretch is a bit narrower (top to bottom). Of course that doesn't account for subjective "feel" and, given that the Caly 3 is considerably thinner and a bit narrower than either, there's no telling what you'd think of the Stretch.
