Anyone out there seen anymore stretches drop? Or am I too late?

uofaengr · Feb 4, 2016

New Graham can be trusted with in stock emails. I did get one yesterday. These are going fast though. Some retailers are not limiting purchases to just one.

Will I be able to get a delica anywhere in about a week? Or are they all gone?

BBS has them in stock.. Or atleast 1..

Can't even find one fleaBay.. Not in the last 10+ days..

Stretches just started dropping. I've seen only two places with limited stock like 6 but sell out. Ebay has Stretch for like 140 -150 thou.Im waiting for dragonfly . Delica's can be had still but hard to find one that are not price gauging thou.

fanucman · Feb 4, 2016

Yeah $150 seems too high for a delica (bbs price), considering a normal one is $60

martyq · Feb 4, 2016

The Stretch seen on eBay $150 not Delica. Have not seen any Delica's in a while they were like $114 last I seen one.There's a super blue Delica for $300 on eBay lol

I'm hoping the demand and favorable reviews for the HAP40 line will allow them to hang around awhile and consequently reduce the price gouging.

Since they're sprint runs, there's only a set number that will be made regardless of how well they're received. So unfortunately it probably won't help.

What about the S35VN PM2? I know that's a sprint run and it disappeared for awhile but now it's back in stores. Was it reintroduced for a short time or was there just a huge delay between batches but still within the set number? I'd like to see HAP40 in a standard production model offered as a boutique option like ZDP is within the Seki knives.

As received today..

As it sits in my pocket!

I do like the burnt orange.. Good thing the Stretch wasn't made in Foliage Green! Lol..

That is something I've wondered about as well, but it probably shouldn't be counted on, as that's the only case I know of where it has happened.

Not a sprint run. Distributor exclusive Moteng

Just called my local shop. They have 4 more Stretch HAP40s in stock. Going after work

No you don't know. The S35V Para2 was and is a Moteng Distributor Exclusive and can be reordered by them as many times as they like. Obviously they have chosen to do just that.

Sprint Runs are a one and done deal. With a limited number of pieces made their is no guarantee either you or me will get one but when you do manage to get one it makes it that much more special.

I've missed out on several Sprints over the years but thems the breaks. I'm not going to cry in my soup over it.

fanucman · Feb 4, 2016

Sorry to go OT but is the blue/purple PM2 a sprint run? Is there a list of ongoing or upcoming sprints somewhere?

Evany · Feb 4, 2016

Blue Para 2 with S110V steel is regular production. But it is hard to find in stock because it sells out so fast.

There are two new pm2 exclusives coming out this year (that we know about). Both are in m4. One from Knifeworks and one from Bladehq.

There is a 52100 Military and the full run of Seki knives in HAP40. There are the two M4 Para2 exclusives that Lance mentioned and then there are also two Military exclusives coming from Knifeworks. One in S90V and one in CTS204P.
