is Bradley still in business? I haven't been able to find an alias 1 in stock in a long long time, and now I can't really seem to find anything else of theirs around either. I called them today using the phone number on their website and got a "no longer in service" recording.

Makes me sad. I really wanted an alias 1, and I cannot ever find one in the exchange that is not sold already.
 
Fantastic knife, one of my favorites.
They were made by Benchmade, but were discontinued a while ago. Try posting a want ad in the exchange. It's worth the wait!
 
One just sold for like $100 on the exchange. Definitely a user and loved but still had a lot of life left.
 
Benchmade also has a F/S & a Wanted section on their factory forum. You can get to it from their web site.
 
They were also made by kershaw for a period as well. You can tell easiest by the boxes. I think kershaw and benchmade just got to the point that there product lines took too much of their space and time to contract for Bradley. Im surprized no one else ever picked up production for them. I thought they sold well (there at least respected in the knife community).
 
Well I saw the alias 1 had been d/c'd in post #2, but never heard anything further about bradley in general. They still had the mayhems and the kimuras, and perhaps they could get somebody else to make their designs. I don't know, just trying to see if they were still around.

Bradley is gone my friend.

The black Kimuras you're seeing are "left over" blemishes. They were probably forgotten about in the back of Benchmades warehouse:D
 
all right, Thanks. Bummer though. They put out a nice knife at a good price point. Kinda wish now that one of the china companies that puts out decent quality fakes would pick up the designs and leave the currently sold knives alone....
