Can the Spyderco Gayle Bradley 2 Hang with the Big Boys? 

I love my GB2. M4 cuts forever. Patina is killer after 3 years. I used a dremmel to make access to the liner lock more accessible. Great video 🤙🏻

The GB was designed to win cutting competitions, sure shows.

The gb2 is an awesome knife with issues that show up with use. The detent ball eventually flattens out, the sharpening choil needs to be extended towards the edge, the proud liners need to be chamfered, the lockbar is overly hard to get to, and you have next to no support if you need screws, washers, clips or anything else that is needed. Mine still has great lockup but the engagement has traveled a lot considering the use. The m4 rusts but it just seems to want to be sharp. I think they ran it pretty hard, it’s crazy the kind of edge I can keep on mine, it’s dangerously sharp. The gb2 is an amazing knife and may have the best blade of any folder ever but it’s not gonna last 1/2 as long as a crk without getting pretty run down.

Nicely done bro. I really love the GB2 but you totally sold me on the Sebenza as well, great video.

Excellent review, I really appreciate your thoughts on how a particular blade grind can affect ergonomics during more demanding cutting tasks

Thanks a lot for this one. I just hope you will not get too much hate for this one ... I agree of the profile of the back of the handle on the GB2 (the same is the case for the GB1 I got just recently)

Good job dude. Nice dog.

cute dog! You might have mentioned it but I didn't catch it...edge angles? You talked about thickness behind the edge and I really appreciated that but I'd also like to know the edge angles if you still know them... Thanks!

I think it would hav been better if you took "behind the edge measurements" of the 2 CrK knives. I always assumed they were more "hard use" knives and not "slicers". So, better compasrisons to the GB2 would have been knives like the Spyderco Police 4 (iirc has a behind the edge thinness of .0016)....or is it .0014? )....or various Kizer knives...

U should do these tests with a scale like Joe calton. Then u can see how much pressure your actually using

Thank you. But the that looked dangerous as... 😄

Good video and comparison

The lack of access to the lockbar tab on the gb 2 kills it for me. Fantastic knife otherwise.

Hey what are your thoughts on the Spyderco Smock ?

Is it 9 thousandths behind the edge?

Got this one, Canis is a good knife it's got the compression lock Yojimbo good as well

Great comparison! Have you noticed any excessive lockbar travel when making really hard cuts? I have observed hard use resulting in a temporarily deeper-than-usual lockup on my old Millie, probably from flex in the handle. GB2, having somewhat stiffer liners doesn't show as much extra lockup% when doing hard cuts. Still trust my beloved Millie, but do you think the flex could become an issue long term?

No way that is 9 thou behind the edge
