Has the blade shapes evolved?

[The Tourist]

I've been saving my pennies (and selling plasma) to purchase a GB. In looking at some customer pics of both the AR and the GB, and then comparing them to the pics on the Strider web page, it appears that the GB started out more angular and morphed into a more rounded shape.

Is this true, or is it the way these knives were photographed?

(No matter, just curious, I'm still getting the GB!)

I know what you are talking about. The originals appear to have strait spines, and had hollow ground blades. I think you hit the nail on the head with the evolved statement. I can tell you from my new GB, that the whole knife from top to bottom seems to have function. Everything from the placement of the double choil's (spelling) to the grip serrations. I would love to see the pic's of original proto's to help understand the creative process. I can tell you that my new GB is hands down the best folder on the market IMHO. (I've been waiting for my GB for a bit, so I want to make a comment on any post about them )
