It is a great price but he does not have them in stock yet. That is the one thing I do not like about that site is it does not tell you the stock amount. He does have some on the way though and they should be here this week.Bluntrauma wrote:No problem kbuzbee. I have been looking everywhere and that seems to be the best price I have seen so far.

I didn't realize that the knife was not in stock. No big deal though. I have bought from Jeff before and I know he'll take care of me. Still, a great price even if there is a wait.grubbster wrote:It is a great price but he does not have them in stock yet.

GB logo? Photo?
In all honesty dont think much of xtra anything on blades.
Have enough BM's with stories written on 'em.
Sold my #4 M4 Rift. Nice, but to me the GB is nicer. :D

I think there were closeup pix in another thread, but this thread has links to GB's website, which has pix of the logo, but not on one of these knives.MCM wrote:"Yep, and the question is, should your backup have the GB logo or not???"

Mine arrived today
And I am as impressed as everyone else I've read on this thread. Congratulations to everyone associated with bringing this model to production.
The liners are thicker than the scales!! As a result it locks up with a nice solid thunk. The handle feels great and I have no doubts about the blade being able to perform.
This is the nicest folder Ive bought. It's the most expensive, but well worth it.
The great pictures I saw in this thread are what tipped me over the edge to buy the Bradley. I definitely don't regret it :D :D

Here is a quick and dirty shot of the GB logo.

The "soul" of hi-tech materials like G-10, H1, ZDP, Titanium, carbon fiber, etc is found in the performance. That appreciation of the "spirit" comes out in time, after use. It's saying, you can depend on me! I'm there for you no matter what! - Sal Glesser

My Bradley has just arrived too. Thanks Tom!
I thought I'd best share my initial impressions as well.
As already mentioned the fit and finish are outstanding, although the Spyderhole is sharper than any I've encountered before but I'll see how by thumb holds up first before making any chances. There are no problems releasing the thick beefy liner, its stronger than I'm used to, so again my thumb going is going to get a good workout.
I originally had concerns about closing the Bradley with gloves on due the partially obscured liner release, but with leather rigging gloves on this posed no problems to me at all.
While the blade sharpness was more than acceptable out of the box, a few passes on the white stones and a light strop really brought it life.
The handle shape is a lot more ergonomic than it looks, it fits my largish hands very comfortably in most grips.
I like the weight of knife but at the moment the balance still feels a little "foreign" to me, I'm sure I will get used to this the more I use the knife.
The only thing I'm not really sold on at the moment are the Cf scales. That's no problem though as this design should lend itself well to customization.
I haven't commented on the blade shape etc as I dont have any work for it right now, Hopefully I'll be back at work soon and can report on how it performs in the real world! :D

This is curiosity, not challenge - what are your reservations? I have found they're a pretty good gripping surface, and they should wear like iron.jezabel wrote: The only thing I'm not really sold on at the moment are the Cf scales.

Unfortunately there's no logical reason for me to base that previous comment on :p . It's really just a case of aesthetics or to taste...JNewell wrote:This is curiosity, not challenge - what are your reservations? I have found they're a pretty good gripping surface, and they should wear like iron.
Actually come to think of it I think I'm just having a hard time adjusting to the bling factor.
