Well guys I believe it's time to put my GB for trade. It's such a wonderful knife but I'm looking for something else right now. I would like to add either my Kershaw manual Cryo (I explain the manual conversion in the Cryo's description) or kershaw blur to the GB to get something like a Spyderco Techno, Benchmade 755 MPR or a HEST 2.0.
First up is the Gayle bradley. I haven't used this guy much but have cut some food with it so it has a bit 'o patina and some spots here and there (It's not red rust, just some spots) The GB opens crazy smooth and locks up solid. Lockup is around 40-50 percent and hasn't moved since I got it and you don't really have to worry about it wearing since it's steel on steel. I recently sharpened it up to 25 degrees inclusive IIRC so it's nice and sharp and ready to go. This is the newest version with the skeletonized liners. I have the box as well.
On to the cryo. I really don't like assisted openers so I drilled a detent hole into the blade (See pic) So you can build up pressure on the flipper. I think it turned out very well. It's a bit hard to manipulate at first but once you get the hang of it, It flies open nicely, especially if you use the thumbstuds. I have the box for this one, too.
blade does not rub
Detent hole
Now I don't really want to get rid of the blur but will if you have something like a BM755 or maybe a ZT 0550.
This knife has been used and shows some signs of wear on the handle and a few small scratches on the blade. I also took the torsion bar out of this knife and it honestly feels like it was made to be manual. It flies open SUPER smooth by thumb flicking or you could just open it slowly which is where you really see the smoothness. It's got a bit of sid to side play but that's just because I liked how smooth it was. I also polished the hardware. I think it looks nice against the black handle and blade but there are a few spot here and there that I missed. I still have the torsion bar for this and the cryo so you can make them assisted again
The only knife I'm willing to trade but itself is the GB. I want to trade the cryo or blur with the GB.
I'm NOT looking for combo edge, fully serrated or tanto blades.
What I am looking for.
Emerson mini a100 or regular a100
Emerson cqc-8 or Horseman.
Hest 2.0 folder
Benchmade 755 MPR (I really want one of these!)
SPyderco techno
Spyderco Nilakka
Titaniun Chaparral
Just about any plain edge non-tanto Emerson
I'm pretty open to offers so feel free to send me a message. I don't want multiple knives for my knives please.
If you have less than 5 positive feedback I will ask you to ship first. If you have any negative feedback, I will not do business with you.
CONUS only please. Email is the best way to reach me.
Thanks for looking and enjoy your day:thumbup:
