It’s really not bad at all but it’s no ZT or Gen 6 Hinderer. I put it back in the safe tonight after work, the orange peel is slippery to me and with it being “slippery” I’m not to fond of the clip retention. I keep meaning to list it for sale but I can’t bring myself to do it, it is a beautiful Gayle Bradley knife.How is the action on that Spydie flipper? i love the orange peel and the dimensions of the Advocate.

Sorry, newbie here. Still trying ti figure iut how to post pics. Anyway its my everyday cv trapper with a piece of chert i found near my home
What is the knife in the first pic far right?Day 5 of the Clyde; detent is getting knice and broken in, I can do a one handed flip open if I hold it right; still working on that but since there is no lockbar I don't have to worry about pressing the lockbar down. I guess that is one benefit of the liner lock. speaking of, the liner is still solid, no lock rock at all, action is getting smooth but not dropping shut, not sure it will ever drop shut. not a big deal but it is one thing to consider if that is important to you. I did put a drop of CLP breakfree on it day 3, helped smooth it out but no drop.
Micarta is wearing in Great! I love natural linen micarta; it has so much personality. So there is my update on the clyde, almost a week in the pocket and used well..... I can't wait to go back to carrying my DPX Flipper though.
Here are some side by sides for size comparison, I wish I had a Liong Mah Lanny to compare it to.

Everyone is new once, and everyone makes mistakes. Here on the forums, you are allowed 2 per six months. Otherwise, well I have the scars from the pitchforks and torches to prove it.
All kidding aside, you need to use an image hosting site like imgur. Or a paid membership.

Not sure what happened. Already had the 0456 on me. But suddenly had the urge to grab the Ultimate Hunter for my leisurely bank run on the bike.
