Good question, it's been a few years since we saw this proto design. Would be nice to see a GB2 at the next Amsterdam meet :)

I am looking forward to this one as well. Slightly off the subject - GB2 would be a great name for it as well. IMHO :)

Yes, this looks interesting. Looks to be a larger model.
My favorite Spyderco knives include: Caly 3.5, Chaparral, Delica 4 FFG, Stretch, Para-Military 2, Endura 4 FFG, Manix 2 & Manix 2 XL!

What is the difference between that GB2 and the regular GB? The only thing that it looks like is there are no finger grooves/choils down the handle?

It doesn't look any different from that photo, but speaking of choil, the one thing I'd add to (or at least test with) the GB2 is liner jimping (similar to the Manix2).

Agree I saw it at the 2011 Blade show or 2012 Shot show.
Or both. Scaled down a bit as I recall.

Yea, I was getting excited when I thought that it was going to be bigger, not
as stoked about a smaller one. The big heavy CF feel is what I love about the original.
