Okay, I know, after this mail I will shut my yap...... :o
I just have to make another shoutout over the second collaboration-knife with Gayle Bradley, the Air.
Sometimes you have an impulsive click when your encounter a new knife for the first time. A click that will bond you forever with a blade. I had this with the GB-folder and the Air.
I handled the Air March last year when it was introduced on the Spydermeet in Amsterdam. The Air had it all, linerlock, M4, Ti, glassfiber, FFG-wharncliffe, small-package.
I am running around with the air for a week now and since that it is in my pocket. I already made it a nice small elephantleather pocketsheath (see other thread 'sheath air'). The knife is a wonderful EDC 'office' pocketknife to slice and cuts small things. The M4 is a wonderful steel and develops some patina now because of the apples, dutch cheese (old Amsterdam :rolleyes: ) and italian Salami it cuts every day. M4 is such a thin FFG-blade is a great choice. I really love F&F of the Taiwan-models, a big gold medal for those guys.

And last but not least, mr. Gayle Bradley, one heck of a knife-designer, putting form, esthetics and functionality in one tool. Big respect mr. Bradley. You rock and I hope many collabs to come!
Looking forward to a FB!

Cheers,
T.

I really like both as well, currently only have the original GB, I am looking forward to the GB fixed blade as well (if it makes into production).

I really like the Air as well. The opening and closing feel on this knife is the best in the Spyderco lineup for me.

I am hoping Mr. Bradley will scale up the Air design somwhere between the other 2.
