New Spyderco Gayle Bradley with pics

GB is bad ass, the only difference was liner weight reduction. Dimensions remained the same. I have both and really cant tell the difference in hand.
 
Great knife probably top 5 in my opinion,for the money you cant find better one.
 
So here's a stupid question - what is the difference between the newer version of the Gayle Bradley and the original version? Did they actually change anything or am I just remembering incorrectly?

I was informed that the hardness of the M4 on the original version is 64-65, while the new ones are a couple of points lower.
 
Gorgeous knife, the only thing holding me back from it was its weight... I prefer a lighter EDC, but that one might change my mind.
 
The G B is on the heaver side, compared to say the Para 2. I will be holding off on carrying the G B untill ''Blue Jeans" season arrives again in the fall, because it is just a little heavy in a pair of khaki shorts for my liking. (Also, I am a tottal Para 2 Zombie!)
For me one of the greatest inovations that Spyderco has brought to the mass market, is the "One Hand" open and closing feature of their knives. I could never get my G B closed with one hand only. (without considerable pain!).
I am a manual laborer and have "tough' hands and skin, and the G B rubbed me raw for two weeks before I performed the same mod as pictured above. Now, (for Me) it is one of the greatest quality knives for the $ on the market today.
 
I'm just waiting on my angle cube and then this thing will be on my Wicked Edge. Man, the thought of super sharp, polished M4 just gives me chills!
