My main beef with knives that don't have a choil is when they also don't have enough room for a comfortable 4 finger grip, but it doesn't look like the GB 2 will have that issue, so I'm very interested to try it out.SpeedHoles wrote: I think too many people were questioning "hard-use" if they made a mistake and slipped the shallow choil and put a finger onto the blade.
Never an issue I was concerned with, but I saw many people bring it up over time.
I do like the lines of the new one better, but ergos always come first on the Spydies I end up carrying, so we shall see.
I don't think "too pretty", and "too expensive" for hard use, were listed criteria or target features in Mr. Bradleys design process for this knife. :p :D
