Does the FRN stretch have metal liners?

[FlaMtnBkr]

Just wondering if the FRN stretch has metal liners? I guess since I will be getting the ZDP version that one in particular?

I can find a picture but if anyone knows if it is pinned or screw construction off the top of their head that would be great as well. Thanks!

FRN Stretch has skeletonized stainless steel liners and is all screw construction. It's a great EDC knife!

Yep, it's built exactly the same way as the Delica 4 and Endura 4. All screw construction, nested liners, FRN backspacer, 4 way clip, sweet.

One more. I think this shows the skeletonized nested liners about as well as can be done without taking the knife apart...

Thanks guys!

While I would like the carbon fiber the wallet says there is no problem with the FRN. It looks great and that midnight blue (I think) will be a nice change from all the black in my collection.

To tell the truth, in addition to the obvious price difference, the FRN has a couple points at least some will consider as advantages over the CF. It's about 15 grams lighter and perhaps 1/16" thicker. Not a huge difference, but I find the slightly fatter handle more comfortable for prolonged use.

AFAIK, nobody has the ZDP ones in stock yet, but at least one reputable dealer has them available for pre-order at around $129. The VG-10 version which has been out a couple months now goes for around $80.

I noticed a small difference between my Stretch FRN and Endura 4 FRN:

Endura 4 has round holes in the nested liner and FRN Stretch has big oval hole.
