Finally Finished My Bradley

Thanks everyone. The Bradley is now my favorite Spydie. :)

Very beautiful. I like it very much. Might have been tempted to only drill for the pocket clip the way I would carry it, but that's just me.

Sort of a long story on this point but the short version is: the sheath I've got for the Bradley is molded for clip installed, tip down carry. But if I carry it clipped out of the sheath in my pocket I want it tip up. Then decided that if I ever sold it might as well have it set up for any configuration. I'm with you on the holes though.

Here's an older picture with the sheath.

Thank you, much appreciated.
I need to pick up another one now. I've done a couple others in Kirinite and may give that a go on another Bradley.
 
May I ask where you obtained the clip from Barman? Did you fashion the scales yourself?
Beautiful and practical knife you now have!
 
Thank you all.

The clip was made by forum member theoriginalspaceman. I believe he has a few left.
After putting our heads together on the wood and design of the scales spketch carved them out. He does nice work and examples can be seen all around the forum. He has a post on the first page of this thread if you want to drop him a line.

His knife is on the last page.


I am curious as to why you went with the long clip on this model?

More for aesthetics than practicality I suppose. When I compared with both clips the long seemed to give a thinner appearance of the plump handle. And after some deliberation I'm going to polish up an STR clip and see how that looks installed. The length is in between the short and long spaceman clips and may be a better fit on the Bradley. I'll move the long clip to my Lum large Chinese that I carry a lot.
 
I agree that the longer clip looks better, but it's not so much a difference that it would deter my using the clip which is most comfortable/useful. Great job on that one, but the GB was made to be used. Why go through all of the trouble just to look at it?

Thanks. Thing is that I've got about 100 Spydercos that I can carry and they're all great users but sometimes I like to sit back and admire a few scratch free examples. Sooner or later the novelty will wear off and I'll put this Bradley in my pocket but then I'll just customize another one and the cycle continues.
