The Lil' Temp had the same compression lock I believe, I think it was to be in VG10 but I'm not 100% about that. However Sal said he was using a guy in Taiwan for the compression-lock knives b/c he did such a good job, and Taiwan would indicate VG10.

There was also a mini-manix in >>clear<< FRN with a BB lock that locked pretty cool!

I don't think so. I think that all of the VG 10 knives are out of Seki City. S30V is used for some of the knives out of Taiwan. I also can't think of a compression lock out of Taiwan, or anywhere outside of Golden for that matter.

You're right about the VG-10 being an indicator of a Japanese made knife, but the compression lock is not exclusive to Golden. The SuperHawk and S are examples.

Chandler69 makes a good observation. So far, Spyderco's blades from Taiwan and China use steels other than VG10. S30V and M4 come to mind. Doesn't mean a Taiwan-made VG10 blade is impossible, but right now, history isn't smiling on the prospect.

The Junior was black G10 and VG10 steel

Chandler you know what you can do with your jerkit smiley, right?
 
Dang, just got a Gayle Bradley, and a version that seems like the one I have perfected for my needs comes out!

It's going to be a long year, all right.

Well, hard to say until it actually gets produced, and if it's just in the concept stage, who knows how long, or even if, that will be? I'd enjoy the GB now. :) You can probably sell it without losing too much later, if things work out for you?

Dude!! To me the smiley looks like an "I'm not sure, but I think this is so,..." If it means something else, no offense intended!!!!! REALLY!

I missed salsa and superhawk,..., my bad.

No chance of that... I'm using this one!!

My Millie has already given me a love-bite from getting booted from the pocket :p

A new version of the Gayle Bradley folder, slimmer build and without the choil - less brawny than the first but IMHO more comfortable and still quite sturdy.

I'd love to hear a little more description of this. Is there a finger guard of some kind?
