This tour-de-force expression of the Stretch 2 XL showcases a blade crafted from D.P.S. 15 Damascus steel. This remarkable material consists of a VG-10 stainless steel core sandwiched between two outer billets of Damascus, each composed of 15 layers of forget-welded steel. When the blade is full-flat ground and acid etched, it reveals its breathtaking 31-layer pattern-welded construction. The elite blade of this knife is then paired with a handle featuring full stainless steel liners and blue Nishijin glass fiber scales. Inspired by a 1,200-year-old Japanese method of textile weaving, this material translates the meticulous, colorful detail of the original Nishijin art form to a stunningly beautiful state-of-the-art glass fiber.

View full detailsIts a sprint run, its more for collecting then using. But of course you can daily this if you want, its still a tool. But for me its more for like a wedding event or "suit knife". Its lightweight and slim handles are perfect for slacks. Its not a razor sharp edge tho, very toothy and stroping it made it better. I always say you don't own just one pair of shoes for all occasions its the same for carrying knives. Overall this is not a hard user being a lockback but it wasnt intended to be one, more "gentlemen carry". Im satisfied with what it was made for. Light duty collectible show piece.
Very gorgeous knife. very smooth handle that feels like glass. Plus the Damascus makes for a very collectable edition for my collection. Not to mention fast shipping and great value thanks to Black Friday
