gayle bradley vs. ZT 0350

The GB will probably cut better. If you need something super duper sturdy, then you might want to look at small fixed blades. For that reason I'd go with the GB.

Also, is G-10 really tougher than CF? I thought it was the other way around because G-10 loses its texture faster.
 
One other thing The GB has a steel liner lock that thick. The ZT has titanium and I have found steel to last longer since it is harder and doesn't wear down as fast from opening and closing over and over. (I am guilty of playing with my knives and they must get opened thousands of times in the first month!) So my steel liner and frame locks still engage less than 50% but my titanium quickly move past 50%. You may have a different experience though.
 
I agree thet titanium liners wear down way quicker that steel liner locks. My Emersons (CQC7 and Super Kerambit) , BM Nitrous Stryker and my BM large Dejavu all seem to have wore down liners, though all of these knives werent used hard, or even often enough to have such wear. Meanwhile, my S30V Military, which I use religiously every day, still is rock solid, and below the 50% lockup mark.
So def the lockup on the GB is expected to be a bit better than the 350. But thats again why ZT make framelocks.

I didn't remember the 0350 having Ti liners, so I just checked mine with a magnet. Steel linerlock and liner. The 0300 series does have a Ti framelock, though.
