I had an opportunity to handle some Spydercos at a shop last week and would like some opinions. I am looking for a medium-sized replacement for a BM Mini AFCK. The two models which had similar dimensions (~ 4 ½ in. closed) that I favored were the Stretch II and Para Military. I liked the slightly longer blade and shape of the Stretch. I would use it for EDC and do hunt, so it would be used extensively for dressing birds up to whitetails. I am open to opinions on these models and alternatives, particularly if you have used both, so fire away.
 
Wasn't the Stretch designed around hunting? Or was that the Ocelot?

I think they're both great knives. I like the ZDP in the Stretch, but I like the lock on the Para.

From a price standpoint, I would have to choose the Para.
 
For field dressing, I can't imagine a better blade than the Stretch II, but it's a really thin blade, so better bring an axe as well.

Speaking of which, Gränsfors Bruks makes a hunter's axe that can be used for field dressing.
