The Spyderco Gayle Bradley knife collaboration is a winner. It has a CPM-M4 satin finished modified drop-point blade for great impact resistance. The twill carbon fiber/G-10 laminate handle features a Michael Walker LinerLock for a safe secure lock-up. The four-way hourglass clip lets you carry the knife tip-up or tip-down and left or right-handed.
I’ve had one of these for years & it’s never let me down. It can go from a long day of abuse to slicing apples with ease. Great blade!!!
Got my GB1 from a friend. This is one heavy duty knife. Its made to cut, to beat on, and to use. Do not pamper this guy; other than making sure the blade doesn't rust. M4 is tough to sharpen, but is meant to stay sharp. This knife has heavy liners and the liner lock can be a bit stiff. As compared to the GB2 you can choke up more on this guy. This knife is far superior to the GB2 in ergonomics. With that being said, the grips are slick and I do wish they were either solid G10 or solid CF. I had this dual stuff. Hate it!. As for the action, be prepared to lubricate it. Once you do, this is a heck of flicker. So as you might see this guy is out of stock and may actually be discontinued. Don't let that detour you, you can still find it on Amazon and Ebay. Again if you want a heavy duty EDC this is a compelling option.
