The new G 3.5 is out. Interested to hear reactions to the new specs and handle design.
I like Bradford knives a lot, and won't be parting with my G4 anytime soon, may get another in fact. The new 3.5 handle design does not appeal to me, but expect a lot of folks will end up liking it. In my case, in a handle design on a short knife like this which has a deep finger choil built into the primary grip, I wouldn't prefer that smooth continuous arc running from the choil back into the handle, I'd want a separate, isolated choil more like what you see on the Spyderco Street Beat. To enable better extraction and control with the small blade.
