I've been in the hoppy for over a decade now, been lurking for a few weeks, finally decided to join in today.
I'm personally a bigger fan of the old version, still think to this day it's the best folder Spyderco has made (not a huge fan of the Slysz Bowie). Unfortunately they discontinued it too quickly in favor of the GB 2, so I was able to buy only one.
I also own the GB2, and it's seen a fair bit of use compared to the GB1. They've definitely remained some of my favorite knives, despite acquiring fancier knives over the years.
