Small Sebenza Bradley Alias II side by side comparison

STR said:
Anyway, I recently had MasterChief contact me asking about me working on his Bradley Alias folder for him and I must admit that this knife model and company somehow flew below my radar until I started focusing in on it after that thread from MC. I know I've heard of the company and the maker but I guess the fact that they went production eluded me somehow.

Good review ...... :)

Help me out though..... what company makes this Bradley Alias II ? ?
 
That ould be Bradley Cuttlery, don't expect much from thier site though, it's pretty boring. I really like the small Alias II though I have been edc'in it for a little while now and it's just the right size for me to whip out anywhere without upsetting nkp, plus the custom work STR did for me made it more user friendly and it sure is purdy :)
 
Yep, they are nice. IMO, not quiet a Sebbie but darn close.... stop pin and bushing being about the difference..... :)

BRADLEY markets the knives........

I haven't seen it mentioned here but does anyone know who actually makes them for Bradley ???

If not,stay tuned and I'll tell you tomorrow....... :)
 
I have the Alias II, GREAT knife my EDC. I have been looking for a GREAT folder, and this fits the bill, until someone get's me the Sebenza for Xmas.
 
(bench made makes the Bradley knives ) that what i hear as well i like the way they look but did not have the thumb stud on the left side so i got the small skirmish wish the small skirmish had the doug ritter blade id buy that in a minute:D
 
Had to put my .02 in...........
I just bought my first "fancy" folder: A Bradley "Alias I", and I love it!! I followed advice I had received here on the Forum (can't remember the exact quote, but it went something like.... "titanium frame, bronze bushings, good blade steel, frame lock, 'nuff said".
I went poking through the inventory at "NGK", and this one fit the description, so I got it, and I'm sure glad I did!!! From the sound of this post, my "research" was a success. (Luck on my part, as I'm a "noob") lol
 
STR, don't see the images any longer?

I just got one of the Bradley knives in for a fitting,

edited to say it is an Alias I, not a II that I have in house

I concurr with your review, nice knife, great fit and finish
the thumbstud is grabby but, that's what I would like in a thumbstud
the old school William Henry's had what I thought was a great thumbstud
very grippy, non slip.

I didn't know Benchmade made the Bradley's, oddly enough I did the Contact
thingy and asked them if there would be a possible model that had a more
modified wharncliff blade shape, guess what knife I showed them that I had
in mind? The Benchmade Shoki, I'm sure they will be laughing over that one!
BUT, if they could put that blade, into the Bradley handle, I'd buy one asap!
Here's a shot of the Shoki I had at one time, nice knife, loved the blade shape
was overall a little too light for me.

Great blade shape, for me that is, I like a more utilitarian style blade, as I don't
hunt and a curvy tip isn't needed as much as the straighter edge, while I use to
be a true wharncliff guy, I've changed up, no pun intended;), on the point of the blade.
