GB3 that looks just like the GB1, but with a compression lock?
I can dream can't I?

I wonder if it will be M4 aswell? I wouldn't mind.

How about a revamp of the Bradley Air with a hollow grind and a wire clip?

The Air is a fine gents knife. No clip please.

Liner locks bouncing around in the pocket are not safe, so no thanks.

I hope I'm wrong, but I believe the Gayle Bradley 2 was "shadow discontinued." It didn't appear in the annual discontinued list, but was discontinued sometime during the year without a formal announcement.
That's essentially what happened to the Slysz Bowie

IIRC, it's what happened to the GB1.

Hi Warstein,

I have no plans to change the straight spine stretch with the Stretch 2 handle. New tooling is very expensive in Japan and for such a small change, it would not be practical. I don't want to make the finger choil shorter than it is as is not comfortable for larger hands. That's one of the reasons I made the "2" in the first place. The straight spine stretch does not have a shorter finger child than the Stretch 2.

Hope that answers your question?

I'm working on a larger version with a 4.0" blade.

So basically a possible Stretch model with a Police/Millie sized blade ? That'd make for a serious contender for the P4LW.

Is no one going to talk about the Mule Team having more on the way?

I for one can't wait to hear what kind of steel they will be. Vanax/cron? They'd be so expensive, I might have a chance to get one before they sold out.

I will! :) I'm thrilled by this. I really hope we get a Rex121 version, and a high-wearing stainless - Vanax or S125V.

Definitely curious to follow this.

Also hope the remodel eases up soon.

Guys, this is NOT the place to converse with each other about what Sal has said. It has become tedious to find what’s new.

Weird title for the thread, then. You’d think “what Sal has said” is exactly what we’re supposed to be conversing about.
