Bradley Cutlery Alias I

[pkdmslf]

Finally received my Alias I. I purchased it from eBay for $199. This is one great looking knife! The F&F is great and the blade came extremely sharp (knicked myself a couple of times messing with it...see my screen name). 3.6" S30V steel blade, titanium framelock and weighs 4.10oz. Feels good in the hand. I relocated the clip for tip-up carry and installed a lanyard (thanks Ghostrider). I really like the blade shape of this knife as well. Since I've only had it for 3 days I can't give a more complete review until later. Just wanted to get it out here that this is one knife you may want to consider if you are looking for something new. By the way this knife is made by Benchmade for Bradley Cutlery so the quality is definitely there. I am going to purchase the smaller Alias II (2.95" blade) and use it for my EDC around the house and at work. The Alias I is great but a little too much blade for work (rules). Here is a link to check out a review: http://premiumknives.com/Bradley_Cutlery/
I don't want to start a forum argument here but they compare it to the CRK Sebenza and as an alternative to the more expensive CRK. No offense to any Sebenza owners out there, I just can't justify spending that much money for a knife and then possibly mess it up or lose it. For the money, I won't be afraid to put this knife to work.

They say it isn't a Sebenza, and I wouldn't know, since I can't afford one to use, but as far as middle of the road Ti framelocks go, I think the Bradleys are a good deal- I have the Alias II for the same reasons you want one, love it. Solid lockup, good-looking in an understated manner, razor sharp out of the box, perfect size and sheeple friendly.
