So in revisiting this thread, I have been still looking for my grail dress up carry....and realised it was the Spyderco Gayle Bradley 1, of course no longer available, but have seen they have done the last runs of the Gayle Bradley 2....making way for the 3rd version.
So a email to knivesandtools.co.uk, and I was ordering the GB2....i like a dress up knife to be a statement piece, but importantly useful and good edge holding for whittling, which is my stress joy.
The GB2, feels amazing in the hand, but a different knife from the GB1.
I will be giving it a run, and will draw conclusions soon, on my ideal of a dress up knife, plus a review of a few contenders....to be continued
