GB1 vs. GB2

The first Spyderco knife was made in 1976 under the direction of Sal Glesser. The company started out as a traveling entity as Sal & his wife, Gail, traveled from show to show. The first permanent establishment was in Golden, Colorado where the company made its first folding knife in 1978. The company proudly touts their knives as being different, peculiar, even out there. "We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we'll never be called unusable or undependable."

GB1 vs. GB2

Post by Artifice » Mon Jan 29, 2018 1:02 pm

Not too long ago, I sold my Gayle Bradley (not because I wanted to) and Im looking to get another one. I seen that the Gayle Bradley 2 is significantly thinner on the liner lock and the blade profile is different. Should I push forth to get a 2.0 or seek out and find an original?

I briefly had a 2.. Did not like digging for the liner lock.. To me it was very hard to access.. ::td:: Sent it back.. JMO!! John :D

I own both and am very happy with them. That being said if I had to choose just one I’d would go with the original GB. If you like smaller knives the GB Air is very cool. :)
