Bradley Alias 1

I've had both the Alias I and II. However, I have sold the II and the I will be for sale when I take the time to take some pictures. The replacements? You guessed it...large and small Sebenzas. The Alias really is a great knife for the money and the only real thing the Sebenza seems to have over them is fit/finish. Really can't go wrong with a Alias though. They hold their value (especially since being discontinued) like a Sebenza so if you ever decide to upgrade (as I did) you haven't lost much if any.
 
I just placed my order for the Integrity through the website you provided. I am looking forward to receiving it

Just save a little while and go for the Sebbie! It is worth the extra $$ from what I have heard. In my opinion, it is better to do it "right" the first time than to have to redo it, spending even more in the process.

As someone who has owned an Alias and used it daily for several years, I wouldn't describe the Alias as doing it wrong.

I'm sure you love your Sebenza, and I know that they are very high-quality knives, but that doesn't automatically make the Sebenza "right" and other knives wrong. What's right for one person isn't necessarily right for another. I handled and considered both the Sebenza and the Alias before choosing the Alias, and I could have easily afforded the Sebenza. I just didn't see any difference in quality to justify spending a few extra hundred dollars.

My Alias is still going strong and I don't feel any need to "redo it" by purchasing a Sebenza.
 
I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but I got an Alias 1 in a trade and was thoroughly disappointed with it. I traded it almost immediately and I did a little research on the exchange and discovered that the knife was passed around like a fruitcake. Each person that bought or traded for it seemed to relist it on the exchange almost the same day they received it.

It was very light, comfortable, and extremely sharp. It just felt very very cheap to me. It just wasn't for me and though I've never owned a sebenza, I don't think "the poor mans sebenza" is a fair comparison.

Again I don't mean to sound so negative. Just throwing in my experience with it.
 
It is ok to sound negative. It sounds negative when I say the Sebbie regular was the most dull and uneven ground knife I ever purchased besides a cold steel AK 47. So that rained on my parade. But the fit and Finish was amazing and the Titanium had a soft feel to it. Yet I know it is still an amazing knife. If that makes sense. The handle on the Alias just felt better. So I did sell the Sebbie immediately. Experiences are all over the map. The Sebbie is a sweet knife. Hopefully what ever is chosen is a perfect specimen for the OP.

The Integrity Sounds Like a Sweet knife and Id get that between the three after owning the others..
