Bradley Alias 1 or 2 ?

[yan.pen]

I am looking to get one of the above. I presently carry a Spyderco Rookie for EDC. Any input? Has anyone had any experience with both of those? How do they compare? Any comparison photos? "In hand" photos? Any info appreciated.

I like the smaller Alias II. It's more of a size preference than anything else. Also, check out the new Spyderco leafstorm framelock folder!!!

I don't have the Alias I, but I do have the II. I think it would depend on what you're looking for in a blade. The II will have a blade size close to the Rookie. I like the Alias II as a more "civilized" or gentlemanly carry option. It rides in the pocket well and probably won't scare most sheeple. I have other +3.5" blades and they are great for bigger jobs, but also make themselves known in your pocket.

I would go for the II if your happy with the size of the Rookie. I've never needed a knife bigger than 3", your mileage may vary.
