Spyderco Stretch 2 XL Gray G-10, CPM Cru-Wear Plain (C258GPGYCW)

Stretch 2 XL Gray G-10, Plain, an enlarged version of the popular folder with excellent ergonomics and best cutting properties. Designed to meet the demands of the field, fulfilling the function of a versatile survival or hunting knife! This version uses elite CPM® CRU-WEAR steel for the highest possible performance.

CPM Cru-Wear - a premium high-carbon air-hardening tool steel with a hardness of 60-65 HRC. Produced by US Crucible Industries according to the CPM (Crucible Particle Metallurgy) process as an improvement on the manufacturer's conventional Cru-Wear and D2 steels. Produced according to the CPM process, it is more resistant to chipping and cracking than most conventionally manufactured tool steels. It is not a stainless steel; to qualify as a stainless steel, it must contain at least 12% chromium. CruWear contains 7.5% chromium, but still offers a fair level of corrosion resistance. It contains a high content of 1.1% carbon, 7.5% chromium, 1.6% molybdenum, 2.48% vanadium and 1.15% tungsten, providing a balance for key properties: hardness, impact strength, edge retention, machinability, wear resistance and easy sharpening. It's not easy to find a steel that performs so well in so many categories.

Blade - with Clip Point profile. Plain blade was derived with Full Flat Grind for excellent geometry and strength. On the back of the blade a notched ramp (jimping / crosshatching) positions the thumb, gives solid support and makes it easier to operate the folder. The round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) allows you to open the knife with one hand using your thumb. Back-Lock blade lock with an additional Boye Detent cutout, preventing accidental release of the lock when gripping the knife firmly.

Handle - profiled, covered with non-slip textured liners made of G-10 (durable, heat- and cold-resistant, chemical-resistant plastic). The facings are attached to a solid spacer (so-called backspacer / handle grips connector) made of stainless steel, which ensures the strength of the construction. A metal clip (left/right) allows you to carry the knife in tip-up (tip up) and tip-down (tip down) positions. A hole (lanyard hole) in the back of the tang for pulling a lanyard or safety line.
