What kind of folder do you carry?

[Murphjd25]

Josh, I keep on looking at this beauty and must be having a senior moment, what model please

It’s the Stretch 2 XL in Cruwear and G10. It really is way better than the Military 2!! (Ducks and takes cover)

Thanks Josh, just couldn’t place the back lock.

Typically a pocket Bowie of some sort, primarily a Cold Steel Recon 1 XL in CTS-XHP. Ideally, I really want at least a 4" blade; for me, a knife doesn't have to be specifically designed for self-defense, but it does have to be able to fill that role in an emergency. That's why I also carry a multi-tool or SAK.

Wow that’s saying a lot. I love my Military 2’s. I may need to hunt one of these down for science

I actually agree with you. Not when compared to Military 1 though, would be hard to choose ....

BTW, the 2XL in Cruwear has a bigger sister:

(PD#1 = Cruwear, basically)

I really like the looks of the Arno Bernard flipper. Not sure I like it enough to buy one.

I really need to pick up an Arno Bernard at some point! I visited their booth at Blade Show and man their stuff is top notch. How are you liking it??

I converted mine to washers and it’s so much better now. It’s got that smooth CRK action now. I still want to grind the flipper tab off mine.

It’s great now! Still debating on grinding off the flipper tab.

 

[Redclay]

Do they offer reblades? Maybe you can get another blade and be able to swap back and forth!

 

[Murphjd25]

I’m not sure!

DaNGIT I just ordered another stretch 2 xl

There is a guy in the trading forum looking to trade a non-flipper for a flipper. No grinding required.

Thread 'Have Arno Bernard Non Flipper iMamba want to trade for Flipper version'

Jul 11, 2025

I have a new Arno Bernard iMamba all titanium with no issues. This is the non-flipper version. It has everything including the coin, leather lanyard, and all its paperwork with box, it even has it sticker. This is also the new model with the caged bearings.

I am looking for a flipper version with the newer caged bearings as well, preferably one of the versions with inlay, but let me know what you have I’m open.

(Also I would prefer it if the leather lanyard is already taken off safely so it can be reattached in the future)

Mostly looking to do a straight trade unless you happen to have...
