Please give the GB 1 the titanium treatment.

I know the Gayle Bradley 1 has been discontinued but after admiring the Advocate I think a combination of the two would be just perfect. Turn the GB 1 into a Ti framelock just like they've done with the Military sprints. Keep the choil, the M4, the phosphor bronze washers and the general size of the GB 1, but add some of the Advocate flare. A slight blade and/or handle redesign to mimic the Advocate would be nice and the orange peel finish is a nice change of pace as well. Or maybe what I'm looking for is an Advocate with the flipper tab removed and a choil added, but without bearings. :rolleyes: What do you all think?

Yes, exactly how you describe it

I'd actually be more interested if they added a flipper to the design so it has a stronger guard, but if it were brought back as a titanium frame lock that would be pretty sweet too.

Love the idea. GB1 is one of my favorites and I'm a sucker for contoured Ti handles.

If they put G10 or CF on the non locking side I'd love one, all Ti is a maybe. It was too heavy for me to really like it when it came out.

I like the GB1 and the Advocate. Not sure I'd like a cross between the two.
