Saw this in Blade Magazine today and it is an appealing looking knife. 3.5" blade of VG-10. Wonder when this one will be available?

Hmmm...I seem to remember something vaguely being said about a 'ProGrip' being remodified...is this it with a new name? Just curious...if not it looks like a hybrid between a persian/progrip. Anyone else see this? Let me know as well...thanks!
 
I noticed that in the latest issue of Blade magazine. It looks very utilitarian, and practical. Whats the expected release date?
 
I handled it at Blade.I think they said they were trying for Aug.
BTW it is sweet.
 
I'm looking foward to this. A big knife with a useable blade. Not too pointy and a lockback. I like the look too.
 
When we first began the design of the model, it was to be a stretched version of the C13 "Pro grip". "In house" name was the "Stretch 13". Our Sales manager (Kelly) liked the name so we kept it as the "Stretch".

3.5" flat gound VG-10. I'm currently carrying a production sample. Should be shipping in late August as planned.

The model spent a great deal of time in R&D on ergos. It's a very refined piece.

Looks like a must have to me. I really like the grind as well as the blade shape. Any other pics available?
 
It looks like good mid size folder. I liked the ProGrip, so I might have to give this one a try.
 
Is it just me or does the blade have a resemblance to the Tim Wegner design? Looks pretty good, I like the choil..grip at the blade handle junction. One of my favourite things about the dragon-fly.
 
4 way clip. Stainless oval clip pad which fits the clip in all four locations. Kraton has proven to hold up well on the Pro-Grips (10 years+).

OK, great, that makes it left handed enough for me. I think I might be putting this one on my shopping (wish) list.

Good thing I live in a ground floor apartment Sal, otherwise my happy dance when I read this news might have gotten me evicted. :D :D :D :D
