Last Wednesday I was too tired (and lazy) from my hiking adventure to leave the hotel to get dinner. Instead I decided this was an opportunity to test a couple of my best EDC/slicers. I had my Slysz Bowie and my Stretch 2 with me. I had a dry salami, and small block of pepper jack cheese and a flute of artisan sour-dough (thick and tough).
I have been bringing my Stretch 2 hiking more and more lately because I like to eat an apple on the trail and the Stretch 2 has been a great apple slicer as well as a tough knife.

I regularly and openly refer to my Slysz Bowie as my favorite Spyderco. It's a great slicer among other things. Frankly, I expected my informal test to prove the Slysz to be the better slicer of the two.

The actual results were not exactly what I expected. If anything I thought the two might seem equal in this experiment. Nope. Half-way though the slicing test, I just wanted to use the Stretch 2 to finish the job. Although I have the same dual bevel on both blades and both had flawless edge profiles, the Stretch just cut more easily and more cleanly. Despite my feelings about my beloved Slysz Bowie, I have to admit that (in this test at least) the Stretch was the best slicer.
