I have had a moral dilemma picking between these two blades! I like the looks of both, and I think I will be happy with either one, so I am wondering about other peoples experience with these knives. Any problems with either? I will be using the one I pick mostly as a dress knife, and I live in a dry place so I don't think that I will have much trouble with the M4 rusting. Unfortunately I can only get one of the two. Thankyou for your input!
 
Dress knife? Definitely the Sage 2. It's smaller and lighter, and has that deep carry clip. They are both great knives. But for your purpose I would strongly advise the Sage 2. Rock on.
 
The Gayle Bradley is just as dressy and good-looking as the Sage 2. Consider the fact that GB has a blade that's 0.5" longer and weighs 2 ounces more than the Sage 2. I would also consider Sage 1 with CF/G10 scales since it's even lighter and less expensive than Sage 2.
 
Of the two I'd recommend the Sage 2. But I agree with the above poster that the Sage 1 may be the best option; it's even lighter and my favorite of the Sage series.
 
Man, talk about two very different knives - I would go with the Sage as a dress knife, but the GB is more versatile as a tool.
 
Sage 2 for dress. I happen to be sitting here playing with mine as I eat breakfast. Great little knife. Gayle Bradley is also a great knife but a bit heavy for a dress knife
 
I own the Sage 1 as my classier knife. So much so that I will be buying the Sage 2 as soon as funds in my PayPal release. I'm gonna send it to a BF member to stonewash the handles in a bronze/purple color. Cannot wait!!

The GB is a bit large for a dress knife. I suggest picking up a Sage 1 or Spyderco Domino as a dress/EDC knife [both are very strong knives that can perform virtually any reasonable cutting task]. The carbon fiber scales look a little more dressier than the Sage 2's titanium slabs.

I disagree with you there. The Ti scales look classier IMO than the peel ply g10 with a carbon fiber overlay. If it was full carbon fiber than yes I would probably agree.
