In the end, you will own both. They are both in production and both fantastic knives. I have both, I got the Bradley first as I never had anything with carbon fiber. I would go Bradley first ..... sorry I did go Bradley first x2 .

Is the plastic covering still on the handle? My NIB went on ebay in 2010 for about $250, so it is pretty desirable to collectors so long as it is in mint condition. I found that it looks better in a collectors case than as a user since there are only so many things a small curved blade can cut. I h...

I am a huge fan of Beretta firearms BUT if I am going polymer I am going Glock or Kahr. That is my personal opinion. I have spent a lot of trigger time behind both and they performed as one would expect from either brand, squeeze the trigger they go bang ... everytime. I am more partial to Glocks a...

Picked up a Spyderco Karambit ..... New in Box. What do I need to know?

Howdy All forumites, I picked up a Spyderco Karambit ( C84P ) new in box. It came to me in a gun trade. Although it's ALL one would expect in a Spyderco, sharp, good fit and finish and a solid knife all the way around I dont know that it's a keeper. I knew that possibility might exist but I must sa...

Ditto Eh, i can't say i like this idea. If i buy a knife in person from a knife shop, i'm going to handle it before i buy it. If a week later i decide i just don't like the knife, even if i haven't ever cut a single thread or piece of paper with the knife..it's used now because i fondled it at the s...

Accidental Gun Club Shooting ( PA ) In this day and age??

Hi All, This kind of thing makes my skin crawl. Guns have been around a while, 19th. Century at least. We are at the TOP of the food chain and yet this happens all to often. When is a lesson learned? What will it take for this kind of thing to stop? I don't care who you are, where you are from .......

There is definitely collector interest, especially if you have the box. Not sure what the value is, I'd guess at least $100+ if NIB. It had a pretty specialized design and application. Araneae, Thanks for the info and response it's much appreciated. I am guessing I'll just call this one FIDO or Spo...

Spyderco Gunting 1/2 serrated, what do I have?

As mentioned above I have a Gunting that is As new. Is this a DOG ...... Collector, throw it in the Glovebox / tacklebox. What do I have here? A Gem or river rock (smile). When I figure out how to resize my pics I will attach a few. This thing is flawless. Thanks, John

I will ask a dumb question, have you tried adjusting the pivot screw? I would think that as long as you have not disassembled the knife U would be covered by Spyderco.
