Spyderco Stretch ZDP-189 Lightweight Plain Edge Knife, Green

ZDP-189 blade steel is the hottest, hardest and highest performing blade steel in the knife industry today. Its 3% carbon content makes it harder and enables it to hold an edge much longer than other steels. Spyderco is one of a handful of manufacturers in the world offering ZDP-189 blades, and the C90 Stretch is one of the flagship designs to feature this amazing material. Designed by Spyderco founder and chief designer Sal Glesser, it began as a pet project for both personal use and for use by hunters looking for a high-performance knife for skinning and outdoor chores. Providing exceptional cutting power and edge retention in a convenient, discreet package, it quickly earned a place as a mainstream production piece. The lightweight version of the Stretch mates a full-flat-ground blade with a blue fiberglass-reinforced-nylon handle and a sturdy back lock mechanism. A four-way pocket clip offers your choice of left or right-hand tip-up or tip-down carry. The C90CFP exemplifies all that is Spyderco: function, high performance, advanced materials and workmanship in an out-of-the-ordinary package.
