Got a very special Gayle Bradley custom for sale here. A bit of a backstory on this one (skip to next paragraphs if you want): I had been searching for a while for the discontinued Spyderco Gayle Bradley Air as my designated "gentleman's folder" to carry on my wedding day a little over a month ago. I had previously owned the GB Air, along with all the other Spyderco / Bradley collabs and really liked it, but ended up selling the Air to my later regret. After searching up and down the internet with no luck on the GB Air, I found this stunning Gayle Bradley custom on eBay from a reputable private seller. I decided to pull the trigger on it for wedding day carry and was happy with the decision. HOWEVER, right after I bought it, a friend found a GB Air for me at a reasonably good price. Since the GB Air was my original choice as my wedding knife, I decided somewhat reluctantly to post this Bradley custom for sale here the week before the wedding. It didn't sell, and I very nearly decided to go with it as my wedding day carry, but went with the GB Air instead (it just felt like destiny, I guess). I'd love to keep this amazing Bradley custom, but I think it's just a little too fancy (and expensive) for a knife that will be more of a keepsake, so I'm going to let it go to someone who might appreciate it much more than me. I'm really not a custom knife guy, nor am I a gentleman's knife guy (guess there are some that could argue that whether I'm even a gentleman....haha!!), and I'd rather have the money I paid for this for something else.
I am the second owner, and the original seller stated that it had never been used, carried, or sharpened. The scales are beautiful iridescent mother of pearl and the blade is BG-42. Blue anodized liner sets off the MOP scales and blade nicely. The overall length is about 6 3/8" and cutting edge is about 2.5" and the blade up to bolster is about 2 5/8". Please refer to pictures as part of the description. No box or paperwork is included.
I'm paid $500 for this Bradley Custom, which is the same price I asked when I posted for sale the last week of September, and it didn't sell here or on Reddit/Knifeswap. I've been going back and forth on whether I should put up on eBay for auction, but I guess I'll put it up here at least one more time at a significant price reduction. Let the bath-taking commence.
Reduced price at $425....PayPal G&S and shipped USPS Priority to CONUS only. Thanks for checking this out!
