Have you been happy with your ZDP-189 Stretch?

I'm really enjoying the light weight and great cutting ability; still totting my edc GB though.

It's a sweet knife. :thumbup: Near perfect ergos and great steel.
Unfortunately for me though, I lent it to my 83 year old dad for hunting season this year and he won't give it back. And I lost my partially serrated Stretch in a swamp a few months ago so I'm now Stretchless.
The new model looks nice so I'm going to grab that when I can.

Ouch! That hurts.

I have that knife that is a safe queen, but I carry Stretch CF that has ZDP189 80% of the time that is my favorite blade.

I've had a few of these. A bit lighter than I would prefer, but they are great knives in FRN...

Now get the rest of the zdp-189s to go with it so you'll stay confused as to which one to carry!!! I got the Endura after it to start

How tough is your stretch? Will it hold an edge for a long time?

I only have one other, a composite Calypso I bought years back.

I really love the Stretch. Excellent ergos and light weight. Blade shape is also really useful for EDC. Its my favorite no-frills weekend and carry-around-the-house knife.

I only have the Superblue version and a backup, plan to get the brown G10 ZDP later.
