GB Folder is definitely a superb knife.
I don't pair it with any knife but if I have to choose, a Delica would suit me well.

GB and maybe something smaller, like a Dragonfly, Dyad Jr., or Spin. Alternatively, you could go for something bigger, and get a Manix 2 XL, Military, or K2.

Re: Need Help!
Are you looking to keep the second knife as classy looking as the first? You can't go wrong with a dragonfly, or chaparral. Pretty sure with the GB and a dfly or chap there is nothing that you couldn't handle.
Current favorite: Manix 2 with carbon fiber scales and cru-ware.

Not necessarily classy....maybe just a hard worker(that's the GB too). I like the idea of classy, yet very hard worker

Re: Need Help!
If you're going to pair knives, carry preference is a big deal. I pair a clipless dragonfly with every knife I carry since it's always in the coin pocket of my jeans or loose in the front right pocket of any other pants. I really like the Chaparral, but it wouldn't work well like this. It's too big for a coin pocket and really isn't suitable for loose carry in a front pocket(unless you don't mind a bunch of scratches on the liners and lock bar). I'd much rather have my Native 5 FRN if it's going to be loose in pocket; it's my beater and I couldn't care less if it gets scratched and dinged. I'm guessing your older Native will fill this role for you.
I'd personally get both a G10 and super blue dragonfly, then swap the blades. One classy with a unique steel and one beater in a unique handle color.
If you plan on carrying one clipped to front pocket and one to the back, a bigger second knife might make sense. The Native 5 would be a nice, harder use pairing alongside the very thin, slicey edge of the Bradley.

I carry a serrated Robin2 at work, a Cara Cara Rescue 2 in the glove box, and a ZDP Dragonfly or Junior everywhere else. My PM2 sits on a shelf with a small assortment of Kershaws.
Waiting patiently for the Native 5 lightweight and the Lil' Temperance 2.

Ok...I have a GB in the mail and just got the Sage 1 on Tuesday. I really like the sage and am super excited about the GB. I continue to read up on comparisons between the chap and sage and don't know that I've made the best choice. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
On another note, my black/black PM2 has some pretty serious side to side blade play (and not centered) that concerns me. I know I can tighten the screw, but that makes it difficult to deploy. I'm not sure if this is something to be expected, can be adjusted or a design issue.
What should I do? I only recently pulled it out and used it to cut cardboard (first time used).
