Experience the next chapter in the enduring saga of Spyderco's evolution with the Stretch 2 XL Lightweight, now available at KnifeHub.com. This iconic knife traces its roots back decades, originally designed to serve hunters and outdoorsmen. Over time, it has evolved into one of the most versatile all-purpose folding knives in our collection.
 
In 1983, Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser introduced the C03 Hunter, the first CLIPIT knife featuring a drop-point blade—an outdoor enthusiast's favorite for game processing. As the design progressed, it underwent several transformations, from the C13 Pro-Hunter to the ProVenator, and later the ProGrip. In 2004, the Stretch model was introduced, and its evolution continued with variations in materials and design.
 
In 2015, the Stretch 2 debuted, refining ergonomics, handle length, and introducing the Stretch 2 XL Lightweight. This "extra-large" expression maintains the proven design, extending the overall length by eight percent and packing 13 percent more blade length into its full-flat-ground H-2 stainless steel blade. The modified clip point profile, Trademark Round Hole, and a 50/50 choil enhance control during precise cutting.
 
Despite its larger size, the Stretch 2 XL is remarkably 29 percent lighter than its predecessor, weighing only 2.96 ounces. Utilizing linerless construction and injection-molded FRN handle scales with reinforced ribs, it offers enhanced structural strength. The Bi-Directional Texture pattern ensures a secure grip in demanding conditions. The lockback mechanism, coupled with a fully configurable four-position pocket clip, makes this knife completely ambidextrous.
 
But the story doesn't end there. Enter the Stretch 2 XL Lightweight Salt, a proud successor in Spyderco's elite Salt Series. Crafted with corrosion-resistant H-2 steel, this folding knife is the lightest and most versatile tool in the Salt lineup. Its 3.99-inch blade, available in PlainEdge or fully serrated SpyderEdge formats, is backed by a sturdy back lock mechanism in a high-visibility yellow, injection-molded handle. The Bi-Directional Texture pattern ensures a secure grip, and the four-position pocket clip provides versatile carry options.
