For Sale. Spyderco Gayle Bradley Folder, Carbon Fiber Plain Edge. Purchased new in March of 2013. Lightly used, with a couple of minor scratches on one side of blade (see last two pictures). I love the knife, but I recently bought a CRK Sebenza 25, so I need to sell a few knives to help replenish my bank account. :-) MSRP is $269.95; sells on Amazon for around $160. I am asking for $120 net via PayPal (add 3% for a total of $123.71). I'll pay for shipping and insurance via USPS Priority Mail. Sorry, but original packaging and documentation are not available. No trades, please.

Manufacturers Information
- Carbon fiber handle. Screw-together construction.
- 4-way hourglass steel clip. Full-length internal liners.
- Michael Walker LinerLock®.
- Hollow-ground blade.

For those not familiar with Gayle Bradley, he produces handmade folders and fixed-blades. He's a Texan who started making custom knives in 1988 and when customers discovered his handmades, his reputation mushroomed, tagging him as a knifemaker who focused on building exceptional knives for hard-use. We believe you will find our Spyderco collaboration impressive not only in its performance abilities but in it's fine appearance as well.

Several years ago Gayle won a BladeSports World Cutting Competition further expanding his reputation by claiming his title with a fixed-blade that plowed through everything including eleven-inches of hanging rope. Bradley knives aren't for fingernail cleaners or showmen but for use down on the ground ' getting gritty and dirty. His first collaboration with a production company we're glad to say is with Spyderco. The C134 Gayle Bradley Folder pulls together his reputational forte; anteing up a hard-use folder design to which Spyderco added an exotic and premium blade steel and an unexpected touch of gentrification.

The blade is hollow-ground satin finished Crucible Steel CPM M4. Original M4 made its good name as a tool steel with high resistance to impact. Crucible's version incorporates their CPM powdered metal manufacturing process with M4 creating a superfine, consistent steel-grain structure heightening its' already impressive impact resistance even more. Its modified drop-point blade also has a weight-reducing swedge located at the spine.

The handle is twill carbon fiber/G-10 laminate with a Michael Walker LinerLock for safe, secure lock up while adding a refined, gentlemanly appearance. Inside are two full-length internal liners adding rigidity to the handle that has screw- together construction for adjustments or cleaning. A four-way hourglass clip lets you choose to carry the folder; tip-up/tip-down, left/right handed.
