- Stretch 2 XL Lightweight Salt Yellow FRN, Satin one of the most popular knives in the SALT line with great ergonomics and excellent cutting qualities. Blade made of excellent H-2 steel, Handle made of durable FRN composite. An excellent tool!

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
The Stretch 2 XL Lightweight Salt Yellow FRN, Satin is one of the most popular knives in the SALT line. Designed by Spyderco founder Sal Glesser to meet the demands in extreme conditions. It's made of salt- and rust-resistant exceptional H2 steel , which is suitable for prolonged exposure to moisture . For these users, Spyderco has introduced a lightweight version of the Stretch 2 XL with an H-2 steel blade and injection-molded grips made of lightweight and durable FRN composite in the elite color Yellow, characteristic of knives from the SALT line.
H-2 - an improved austenitic stainless knife steel that is the successor to H-1 steel, produced by Japanese steel foundry Myodo Foundry. The high-chromium, low-carbon (rolled without heat treatment) stainless steel contains 13.73% chromium, 0.09% carbon, 0.17% copper and 0.06% nitrogen. The knife can stay in fresh, as well as sea water , and will not rust even if left wet after use. The result was achieved by adding chromium and nickel to the steel, and replacing some of the carbon with nitrogen. All internal parts of the steel have undergone special treatment, making them resistant to rust and salt.
Blade - with Clip Point profile . Plain blade was brought out with Full Flat Grind for excellent geometry and durability, finished with elegant satin finish. On the back of the Blade, a notched ramp (jimping / crosshatching) positions the thumb, gives solid support and makes it easy to operate the folder. The round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) allows you to open the knife with one hand using your thumb. Blade lock of the Back-Lock type with an additional Boye Detent cutout, preventing accidental release of the lock when gripping the knife firmly.
Handle - in elite Yellow color . Non-slipbi-directional textured covers(Bi-Directional Texturing) and notches on the back of the Handle(Spine Jimping) strengthen the grip even with wet hands. Made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), a fiberglass-reinforced nylon plastic. Metal hourglass clip with four-way (up/down, right/left) 4-way clip positions. In the back of the Handle, a hole(lanyard hole ) for the cord.
