Will the Gayle Bradley 2 go into production again?
I see it is still on KC's site and isn't listed as discontinued. :confused:

I'm anticipating its return as well!

It appeared in the 2020 catalog, so it's still technically in production. I'm guessing Taichung has been busy and we will see more of these soon enough, just wish I had more information about when.

If it’s worth anything I called the SFO today and they told me more would come. I just hope it is not shadow discontinued when stock doesn’t come back.

I just picked up a LNIB Gayle Bradley 1 off the secondary market and a new Gayle Bradley 2 from a retailer here in Canada who still has stock. I plan on only keeping the one I prefer most. Have had the #2 for a couple of weeks just to fondle it. The #1 I won't get till next weekend.
I hope I don't like them both ...

Same here. Depending on when more are in stock it may be my first knife buy of the year. It's definitely the one I'm wanting the most.

I had a GB2 a couple of years ago and I sold it when comparing it to the GB. In hindsight I really wish that I had kept the GB2 but it and the GB1 are a lot more dissimilar knives than their name implies or that I understood when I first purchased the 2. It's like comparing a work truck to a slick El Camino. They both serve a purpose, they're just different. All that to say that I am also patiently waiting on a re-release for the GB2 and I am really interested in the form that the Bradley 3 will take. It would be nice to get some feedback on a timeline for any of this if one is known.

That would be fun! Has there ever been a Taichung exclusive?

If you don't mind it in M4, I'm pretty sure I've seen Sharpdressedknives.com has some micarta scales available for it. I think Larry Mott may actually have them on his if I remember correctly?

I believe the steel choice is made by Mr. Bradley, so I thinks it is long odds to see it in something other than M4.

That's right! Mine are from Suingab though. Top notch.

Yes. Off the top of my head Positron (KC-orange smooth G10/S35VN) and a few different Dominos
