The Stretch 2 Lightweight is a highly evolved folder optimised for processing game in the field. After decades of relentless refinement, its roots go back to 1983 and the C03 Hunter™ model.
This limited-edition Sprint Run™ of the Stretch 2 Lightweight combines this design's time-tested features with a three-layer laminated blade crafted from V-Toku2 and SUS410 steels. The high-performance cutting edge of this knife's blade relies on a central core of V-Toku2—a Japanese tool steel made with Swedish iron ore and enriched with tungsten, vanadium, and chromium.
Renowned for its toughness at high hardness, the V-Toku2 centre layer is flanked by outer layers of SUS410. This martensitic stainless steel enhances the blade's strength and provides a somewhat greater degree of corrosion resistance. This unique layered construction is evident when the full-flat-ground blade is examined closely, as the transition between the core and outer layers is clearly visible just above the cutting edge.
All other elements of this unique knife are consistent with the defining features of the Stretch 2 Lightweight, including skeletonised stainless steel liners, an injection-moulded fibreglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle, Bi-Directional Texturing™, an index-finger choil (finger groove), a sturdy back lock mechanism, and a four-position pocket clip.
Its FRN handle also proudly showcases the signature blue-grey colour of Spyderco's elite V-Toku2 family of Sprint Runs. classic.
