Bradley Air

#1

Post by captnvegtble »

I've been waiting for this knife every since I saw pictures of it months ago. Looks like it's about the size of the Dragonfly with titanium liners, glass fiber scales and M4 steel. I plan on buying it when it comes out and it will be my first experience with M4. I'm hoping it's not a budget breaker, though. Anybody have any idea about time to release and price point?

As many have already mentioned, I would also have liked to see a wire clip on it, but it's not a deal breaker.

I just saw this for pre-order at BladeHQ for $155 (35% off MRSP). That means it should be about $135 at CS. Seems reasonable to me given the quality of materials used.

Pre-order price at Knifecenter is $153.95. A little pricier than I had hoped but I can see how M-4 steel and carbon fiber scales would elevate the price.

I don't usually pre-buy. I wait for CS to get them in stock.

As much as I like this knife I think its way overpriced, even at CS it will be 135 bucks. I got my Gayle Bradley for 121 bucks shipped, with a clip, and inch longer blade, twill cf rather than cheap looking fiber glass, and a usable blade shape. Just my .02

I feel the same. I remember seeing Gayle show off another LITE version of the Bradley. I hope that knife offers a price point closer to the original. I've held off on a Bradley due to the weight, really.

I definitely plan to get the Air, but I know I'll never carry it. I gotta have a clip! Oh well, it'll make a great desk knife / letter opener.

[Edit] 36 grams. That's practically weightless, comparable to an FRN Dfly. Already love the Centofante models, just ordered a Des Horn, but this looks like it hits all the best points and then some!

Funny how I don't particularly like CF nor do I don't like Mr Bradley's exposed liners either, but mention CPM M4 & wharncliffe in the same sentence and you can bet I'm getting it :p

Yes, no reason to rush for a non-sprint... :)
