Long discontinued and sold out. The original Spyderco Gayle Bradley is considered by many knife aficionados and Spyderco devotees as one of the best Spyderco knives to ever be produced. Comparable or better than knives costing much more. Near mint overall condition. CPM-M4 blade is perfectly centered. No play in any direction. No lock stick. No nick, chips or rolls on original Spyderco edge. There's a tiny bit of patina on the swedge by the Spyderco logo and at the plunge line on the opposite side of the blade. You can see it in my close ups but it's almost unnoticeable to the naked eye. But that's what CPM-M4 steel does. I've wiped it with Tuff Cloth to help prevent any more patina forming. Carbon fiber scales are in same condition as when knife left Spyderco. Same for hardware. Pocket clips has a few very minor tiny scratches. Extremely smooth to open and close. Knife ONLY, no box/papers. Original MSRP $280. RPIGS

Overall Length: 8"
Blade Length: 3.4"
Weight: 5.5 oz.


SOLD, thank you G Goose 7279 and as always thanks Blade Forums.

"Military" NSN (National Stock Number) version, rarely offered to general public. Not a Limited Edition but maybe harder to come by. Excellent overall condition. Carried on occasion, but doesn't appear to be used for anything else other than a tactical letter opener. Chromium nitride coated CPM 20CV blade is centered. Zero play in any direction. A tiny tiny bit of "standard" Strider lock stick. In Strider terms, no lock stick. Except for a tiny speck of missing black right by the pivot, the aluminum presentation scale is almost indistinguishable from new. Bead blast titanium lock scale has a few very superficial surface snail trails around the pivot. This is just about inevitable with blasted titanium, ask any Chris Reeves owners. Pocket clip also has a few aforementioned snail trails in the high spot just below the screw. All screws are excellent shape, nothing stripped or mangled. EXTREMELY smooth to open and close. Compared to "run of the mill" SNG's selling for $650+, and SMF's selling for $700+, this is a great value in my humble opinion. BEEVZ, BRLGS
