Product Description
The Stretch 2 C90FP2K390 is the latest step in Spyderco's folding hunting knives, which Spyderco says have evolved from decades of outdoorsmen's feedback since its original C03 Hunter in 1983. This version pairs a straight-spined, full-flat-ground K390 MICROCLEAN blade with blue FRN, the signature color of Spyderco's K390 family.
K390 MICROCLEAN is a powder metallurgy tool steel from Böhler-Uddeholm, developed for the wear resistance, toughness, and compressive strength that demanding industrial applications require. In the field, that means long edge life for dressing game and outdoor chores between sharpenings. The thin 0.118" blade is full-flat ground with a satin finish for clean, controlled slicing. The trade-off is care: it isn't stainless, so it needs to be kept clean and dry.
- Blade: 3.48" K390 MICROCLEAN straight-spined blade with a 3.00" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, satin finish, 0.118" thick.
- Handle: Blue FRN with Spyderco's Bi-Directional Texture over skeletonized stainless steel liners, for a secure grip even with wet hands; 4.71" closed, 3.7 oz.
- Deployment + Lock: Spyderco Trademark Round Hole for one-handed opening with either hand; a stout Back Lock holds the blade open and releases by pressing the lock bar on the spine.
- Carry: Four-position pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry on the right or left side; 8.19" overall.
Ideal for: hunters who want a light folder that holds its edge through field dressing; outdoorsmen who value edge retention above all; and steel enthusiasts collecting Spyderco's K390 family.
Care note: K390 MICROCLEAN is a tool steel, not a stainless steel. It may patina or rust, so wipe it clean and dry after use, especially after field dressing, and keep a light coat of oil on the blade.
The Spyderco Stretch 2 in K390 MICROCLEAN with blue FRN (C90FP2K390) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Stretch 2 K390: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Spyderco Stretch 2 (C90FP2K390).
What lock does the Spyderco Stretch 2 C90FP2K390 use?+
The Stretch 2 uses a Back Lock. When the blade opens, a spring-loaded lock bar in the spine of the handle drops into a notch in the blade tang and holds it securely. To close, press the exposed section of the lock bar on the back of the handle and fold the blade, keeping your fingers clear of the edge. The lock works the same for left- and right-handed users.
Is the Stretch 2 a good hunting knife?+
Spyderco designed the Stretch 2 as a folding hunting knife, shaped by decades of feedback from outdoorsmen since its original C03 Hunter in 1983. The straight-spined, full-flat-ground blade gives good control for field dressing and skinning, and the textured FRN handle keeps a secure grip with wet hands. K390 holds its edge through long sessions between sharpenings.
What is K390 MICROCLEAN steel?+
K390 MICROCLEAN is a powder metallurgy tool steel from Böhler-Uddeholm, developed for the wear resistance, toughness, and compressive strength that demanding industrial applications require. In knife blades, that means long edge life. Spyderco marks its K390 knives with a blue handle color.
How do I care for a K390 blade?+
K390 MICROCLEAN is not a stainless steel, so it may develop a patina or rust if left wet or dirty. Wipe the blade clean and dry after use, especially after field dressing game, and keep a light coat of oil on it. Because it is so wear resistant, diamond or CBN abrasives work best for sharpening.
What comes with the Stretch 2 C90FP2K390?+
The C90FP2K390 ships as a knife with its four-position pocket clip installed. It is knife only, with no sheath included. Packaging and included items are set by Spyderco and are subject to change.
