Welcome to KnifeHub.com, where Spyderco's legacy unfolds in the form of the Stretch 2 XL Lightweight. Born from a history that began decades ago, this knife's journey traces back to serving hunters and outdoorsmen. Evolving beyond its origins, it stands today as one of the most versatile all-purpose folding knives in our collection.
 
The tale began in 1983 with the creation of the C03 Hunter, Spyderco's first CLIPIT knife with a drop-point blade. As the design progressed, it transformed into the ProVenator and later the ProGrip. In 2004, the Stretch emerged, marked by a larger size, stainless steel handle, Kraton inserts, and a VG-10 blade. Over the years, the design evolved further with variations, including a lightweight version with FRN handle.
 
In 2015, the Stretch 2 debuted with refined ergonomics, handle adjustments, and an extended handle, marking a new chapter. This iteration, known as the Stretch 2 XL, now offers an eight percent increase in overall length and a 13 percent longer blade, showcasing a full-flat-ground H-2 stainless steel blade with a modified clip point profile.
 
Despite its larger size, the Stretch 2 XL Lightweight is 29 percent lighter than its predecessor, weighing only 2.96 ounces. The linerless construction, injection-molded FRN handle with reinforced ribs, and Bi-Directional Texture pattern contribute to its lightweight and secure grip. The fully ambidextrous design features a lockback mechanism and a four-position pocket clip for versatile carry options.
 
But that's not all – introducing the Stretch 2 XL Lightweight Salt, a member of Spyderco's elite Salt Series. Weighing a mere 3.0 ounces and crafted with corrosion-resistant H-2 steel, this knife is the lightest and most versatile tool in the Salt lineup. Its 3.99-inch blade, available in PlainEdge or SpyderEdge formats, is backed by a sturdy back lock mechanism in a bright yellow, injection-molded handle for high visibility and a secure grip. With a four-position pocket clip, the Stretch 2 XL Lightweight Salt combines durability with lightweight convenience, making it an ideal companion for any adventure.
