Bradley Air- Pics!

[WireEdge Roger]

Just got it today. It's, as expected, lightweight to say the least! It has dual skeletonized Ti liners, a floating stop pin, stand-off style backspacers, a full flat ground CPM-M4 blade, and silver twill scales. Like the full sized Bradley folder, it has proud liners.

The overall build quality is superb. The action is smooth and light, lockup solid as a rock. It could be a little thinner across the handle if I'm going to pick at something, but it feels good in the hand. I was surprised to find that I can get a four finger grip on the handle, I was expecting it to be a three finger length.

All in all it's really great!

Interesting, almost translucent quality to the scales when ground away for the cut out. In your opinion, does the twill appear to be an overlay or is it simply the nature of the material?

Thanks for your thoughts and photos Roger.

Looks nice!
Do you have any size comparison pics alongside a common Spydie?

Good-looking knife. One thing I'm really curious about: if you use the forward cut-out to release the lock, is your thumb close enough to the pivot that you could allow the knife to close until the tang contacted your thumb (like how you can let a knife with 50/50 choil close on your index finger), or would you get cut?

So no pouch? There was some discussion about one when they pulled the clip out of the design.

Ken- no pouch.

Thanks brother! Mine should be here Tuesday. Time to figure something out for it

DJ- I just tried unlocking it that way, not the best. The lock tang face pinches the portion of thumb that's depressing the lock.

I can't tell if the twill is through and through, it seems to be a veneer, but I can't tell 100%

nice pics, thanks

Looks super thin behind the edge - dang that has to cut well

That just looks beautiful! I'm very pleased to hear that like the original Gayle Bradley the liners are proud...I love that touch. Thanks for the great pics mate.

I have to hold off, somehow, until November. Then I can give myself a birthday present. The want is strong.

Thanks for the share Wire! Looks awesome :D

Looks very nice...nicer than I wanted it too!! It looks so unfriendly for a lefty, but I want one still! I can only hope that when I get one in hand, it just doesn't work for me.

Congrats on your knife, it really is a beaut.

Oh my oh my... Maybe I'll hold off on the Techno. Beauty.

[RevDevil]

That is fantastic. I'll be ordering one as soon as I find them in stock.

Hi Roger,

Thanx much for the pics. Gayle Bradley is an exceptional designer / maker. We tried to do his design justice. A fine gent's folder. Hope you enjoy the piece.

Sorry about the "no pouch", Ken. We thought to begin the design this way. If the demand is large for a pouch, we can add one later, but it does raise the price?

I couldn't agree more. This seems like more of what my EDC needs!

Love the look of this knife! I have a chaparral and am really starting to dig small classy edc knives. Does anyone know if the actual liner lock is steel or titanium? Somewhere I heard the liners were titanium, so I wasn't sure if they meant both sides including the liner lock or what
