I love the snap of a good back lock. My Native Chief really surprised me at how good it sounds and feels!

She has arrived! Initial inspection says perfect! Great Taichung quality as always, as nicely put together as my sage 5 was, and my amalgam. The edge is VERY sharp, and action is smooth as can be! Detent is a bit light, but normal for Taichung. Little bit of lock stick that should subside with a little cycling. Ergos are awesome! I love it already!!

Good to hear! I got my GB2 out last night to reduce all the cardboard in my recycling bin into little pieces

What does Mr. Potato Head in the back ground think of it? :D

Mr. Potato Head has developed googly eyes and a crooked mustache for it already!

While I think the GB2 is a great knife, please please please bring back the Air!
YES YES YES I'll buy two of them.

Agreed on both counts. Maybe a poll to bring back the Air? Not sure how to set one up.

Anyone else have trouble with the clip on the gb2? I simply hate it. It doesn't have enough open space on the end to clip it to ANY of my jeans. I can clip it on my pajamas but I don't think that's the intended use. I am going to have to bend it with pliers.

Nope... Works perfectly for me like all of my Spydies. The only brand I've had clip problems with is Cold Steel. Way too tight, so a little bend here, a little sanding the texture of a scale here... Lol

If you are still having issues, the LynchNW Para 3 left handed clip fits just about perfect on the GB2 for rh tip up. The opposite would work for a leftie (para 3 right hand clip).

Out of curiosity - I had a GB2 bfriefly and actually managed to cut myself on the tip of a full closed knife. Is the tip so close to the end of the handle on all of GB2s? On GB1 this is not an issue.

I had to do the same thing with many solid Taichung pocket clips, as they wouldnt always let me easily slide the knife into my pocket without the end of the clip hitting the lip of the pockets on several sets of pants that I wear (mainly Carhartts and Dickies). A slight bend upward will fix the issue.

If I push hard I can feel the tip with the end of my finger. I didn't manage to cut myself though

Thanks, I have pretty skinny fingers with skin not really used to harder work, so I probably managed to squeeze it between the scales more than others would.
