Greetings - I am considering adding a Bradley Alias II to my wish list. I have read about this knife but have not heard from actual users. Can anyone that is an owner/user comment on quality? Any quirks about the knife? Anything that is strikingly cool?

After using and carrying for awhile, do you still think that this is a good knife for the money?
 
I really like the Alias I. Very smooth open and close. Useful size and blade length and maintains an edge well.

I had an Alias II that was a little small for my taste, came fairly dull and didn't keep an edge like the Alias I. I wonder if I got one with a bad heat treatment.

If you do the research, you'll see the Bradley called the "poor man's Sebenza." I have a Sebenza too, but I would tend to agree. The Sebenza is better, but the marginal difference for the price may not be meaningful to most users IMHO.

I like my Alias I. But the Alias folders are made by Benchmade for Bradley Cutlery Co. Their Kimura balisong is made for them by Kershaw. Not sure why this is the case.
 
Both Bradleys are exceptional folders. Light, easy to deploy, and solid. Alias 1 is by far my favourite folder although I have yet to purchase a Sebenza.
