The Stretch 2 XL Lightweight from Spyderco is a testament to over thirty years of meticulous evolution in the realm of folding hunting knives. What began as a classic design has been relentlessly refined, culminating in this full-sized cutting tool that balances remarkable lightness with practical utility.
At just 3.0 ounces (84 grams), the Salt 2 XL Lightweight stands as the largest member within Spyderco's esteemed Salt Series—a lineup renowned for its superior corrosion resistance. This knife showcases a formidable 3.95-inch (100mm) blade crafted from H-2 steel, celebrated for its unparalleled ability to withstand rust and wear even under the harshest conditions.
The blade offers versatility through two edge configurations: PlainEdge for clean cuts or fully serrated SpyderEdge for more aggressive tasks, ensuring readiness for any situation you might encounter outdoors or in daily life.
Supporting this impressive blade is a robust back lock mechanism, securely housed within an injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle. Finished in high-visibility yellow, this handle not only makes locating your knife easy but also features Bi-Directional Texture patterning to provide an unyielding grip no matter how wet or slippery conditions become.
A truly adaptable companion, it includes a four-position pocket clip allowing complete freedom of carry orientation—be it tip-up or tip-down on either side—to suit personal preference and accessibility needs.
The Stretch 2 XL Lightweight isn't merely an advancement; it's proof that when you combine pioneering materials with expert craftsmanship, excellence becomes inevitable. Whether you're braving saltwater environments or simply tackling everyday challenges, trust in its performance and resilience to see you through.
