Ok so I got a gayle Bradley finally I know lol. Anyways I am very very impressed with the fit and finish of this knife. It's the smoothest production folder I've ever handled. Yes even smoother than the holy sebenza. Fit and finish is perfect, lock up is solid solid solid. So smooth and so solid of a lock up it's almost unbelievable to me. I think the tight lock up is due to how deep the blade sits in the handles and that massive liner lock. Overall I'm very impressed to the point where I am going to get another one just for the hell of it. I'd like a gayle Bradley in s90v with carbon Kevlar scales next.....wouldn't that be amazing?!!! Thanks spyderco and Gayle Bradley for this fantastic knife!!!!
 
I absolutely agree. The Gayle Bradley is an amazing knife. I am looking to get another one as well!

What!!!! That's blasphemy! LOL! I almost have to agree. Almost I said. Although my Gail Bradly is very very smooth it's not as smooth as my Sebenza.
 
Just to mix things up.

I do love my gayle bradley. I was looking @ the sebenza but I may delay that purchase for a while. So smooth, so sharp, so pretty. Hard to beat for the price.
 
I agree with everything you said Mikey. I love the Bradley.

It has been a main EDC for me up to this day. I still haven't sharpened it. Love the M4 tool steel.
 
mine wasn't incredibly sharp when i received mine, so i touched it up on the UF rods....MORE than shaving sharp!

I would hate to sharpen one that gets dull; even just touching it up took a while.
 
I have been edcing mine since I recieved it a few weeks ago. I LOVE this knife, it has the look of a gentleman folder almost but with a stout almost fixed blade feel. Ultra smooth opening and a great blade steel make this one of my favorites. Cant say anything bad about it.
 
There was talk about a new Gayle Bradley folder at ShotShow. Supposedly it was lighter, but it looked very similar to the one out right now. With the release of the M390 mule, maybe there is a possibility of the new Gayle Bradley being in this steel :D Only time(BLADE) will tell...
 
I can't wait!

M390 (fingers crossed that i get 2 mules like i plan...) would be nice so you wouldnt need to worry about staining. but i will say that i have used my GB to cut food/fruits and a water bath later and there is no patina or streaks on the blade at all.

i personally like the heavier weight of the GB. i have the 2nd version will the drilled liners, but it only makes a 2 or 3oz difference. so a lighter knife is not important for me.
 
I miss mine. I didn't much care for it at the time, but I've since changed my opinions a lot on the various kinds of knives I prefer for different tasks.

I think a Ti (possibly fluted) Millie, a Gayle Bradley, and a Sage 2 are on my definitely needed wish-list.
