OK all, I just got my Bradley 2.
Wow! I expected to like it, but I didn't expect to absolutely love it!
This is one of the nicest knives I've ever seen or held.
The proud liners don't bother me at all, in fact, they really help provide a secure grip on the handle.
Ergos are the best I've ever felt.
And it came SCREAMIN' SHARP!
The "difficult" to unlock liner lock isn't as bad as some have led me to believe and definitely lends a feeling of confidence in the lock. The one thing I didn't expect, though, was how nice the knife looks. That CF laminate is gorgeous! It shimmers in the light. And the texturing is just right. The liners are nicely polished and look great against the black handle. Finally, the blade is something to behold! The shape, and mix of horiz and vert satin finish is killer. Spyderco and Gayle Bradley hit it out of the park with this one. I no longer want to carry my small Sebanza, but will out in public as it's less "scary" than the Spyderco. The only thing I'd change is the clip. I'd rather have a "deeper" carry clip for it. Where do I go to find one that will fit this knife?
Thank you everyone who contributed to this thread, specially those of you who recommended the Bradley 2.
Now, I gotta go find stuff to cut.
