More praise for the Gayle Bradley

#1

Post by prime77 »

I got mine the other day and can't say enough good things about it. The ergonomics, the carbon fiber, the smoothness of opening and closing, the M4 steel. Everything at an amazing price. Very happy with the knife overall. Thanks Sal, Gayle and everyone involved for making an amazing knife.

A little time with my DMT stones and paste I got that M4 polished and hair whittling sharp.

Nice photos.

I always get a chuckle out of a positive review on a GB. The web is pretty saturated with high praise for this blade...yet few people can seem to resist remarking about the positive attributes when they get their hands on one. Just the same, thanks for the info.

Looks like you made a great knife even better...nice work!
Thanks,

It's one of I think only three Spyderco knives for which I've got an exact duplicate/backup.

I've been thinking of picking one up. The going prices seem quite reasonable.
My only concern is the blade rusting. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Don't have one to speak of, but from what I have read, I think we are dealing more with "patina" than out and out rusting.

patina is a non issue for me, I guess the only thing holding me back now are the number of new knives for 2011 =)

I've had mine for just a couple of weeks and I have to echo what everyone else is saying...I love it. The blade design, the M4 steel, the solid lock up, the feel and look. I love it all. I may even end up getting another one just to keep as a back up in case they ever end production on this model.

The Bradley is the flagship of my folders, even as I am now thinning out what I own. It is a very special and beautiful piece :)

took mine and ground out the side a bit to make the lock more accessible. really doesnt change the overall look of the knife but the opening and especially closing is easier. its my favorite user.
