Amsterdam Meet 2016 Report of Spyderco Prototypes

[Stuart Ackerman]

More to come tomorrow...

I must admit that I am clenching my teeth a bit, but I am patient, I think?... :)

[WireEdge Roger]

The Bradley is superb! That's the one I want the most. I'm a sucker for clean designs.

[Igi964]

Now we're talking :D

Bradley TAC 1 is AWSOME. A must have for me. Great job.
Magnitude will be also excelent after some Rubicon 2 treatment

[swigert]

Tac 1 is a must have!!!!

[LC Kid]

Hi Folks!


Ok guys, it's official:

Bradley TAC 1s is the Best of Show. Plain & Simple. :cool:

Well, so far... :D

[Mako109]

This thread is sure making it hard on a guy who's trying to moderate his Spyderco spending. It's like dangling bacon in front of a hungry bear.

Maybe the Tac 1 should be renamed the Gayle Bradley Bacon :D The Magnitude is Bacon too.

[Sharp Guy]

Bradley TAC 1 looks awesome!! I'd love it even more if it wasn't a flipper but we can't have everything.

Out of the very few so far that I like.. Wonder how many of those are with-in my budget??? John

[DigDug72]

man, i think i like the lines on this Spydie Tac 1 better than the custom Bradley! wasn't expecting my lust level for this knife to be so high...

[farnorthdan]

I think I can hear my wallet whimpering in my pocket.....

Wow to Gayle Bradley TAC 1s with 3.66" blade of CPM-M4, weighing just 3.52 ounces and made in Taiwan!

Did I miss where blade steel info come from?
Blade shape is great. I never was a fan of GB1, but I like GB2 much more. TAC is even better. I can only wish that I would have G10 scales, even the texture on Titanium look great.
Very attractive knife.

I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but is it ok to share a pic or two on Swedish forum?
(goes without saying it would be "as is" with nothing Photoshopped, name intact etc.)

That Bradley was a cool piece. Especially that orange-skin-like Ti. Cool-cool-cool!!! What I did not like was how far the flipper is placed backwards. It kind of blocked chocking up the blade close when you have do precise cutting.

From the first post in the thread:

Please feel free to re-post and share these images and information. If you’d like to edit these images, try to make it clear that these are either concept models, production prototypes or production samples. I add this information in the images, to make clear that these knives aren’t available yet. I’d also appreciate a source credit for the images.

Sounds like you're good to share. :)

You guys have good reason to be stoked for that Bradley Flipper. I've been rocking one for 6 or 8 months and it is an awesome knife! Carries thinner than the Delica and has a good bit more blade. That design is a total homerun!

[Surfingringo]

Pretty cool that they managed to throw a lanyard hole on the production model too!

[paladin]

I like the orange peel texture on the metallic scales...are they stainless or Ti?

So far, the Ouroboros & 40AnnvNative are must buys for me....Where is the Native on preorder at?

Knifecenter has it up for pre-order as well as many others. :)

By the Matrix... the GB Tac 1 flipper looks like a masterpiece. Would probably work quite well as a non-flipper as well.

The long flipper tab makes for a nice guard, but also a bracing point as a forward finger choil.

Can't quite remember off-hand, but is yours is on phosphor bronze washers?

The custom 4.25" and the 3.45" versions rides on ball bearing washers according to KC.
