I don't suppose they will ever make....

....a 3" Gayle Bradley 2? :) Which would, I guess, make it a Gayle Bradley 3?

I really like my GB 2, there is nothing quite like it, but sometimes it's just too big. Being a small person, I carry my Para 3 M390 most of the time lately.

I think that’s a Gayle Bradley 2 mini. I would like to see some collaborations in smaller sizes too.

You mean a GB2 the size of a GB1? That sounds interesting. I would have to have one.
Wanted: M4 PM 2 or manix M4.

I would like to see a version that is just...better designed. The knife doesn't feel great in the hand because of the way the scales are set up. Disengaging the lock sucks. The blade shape is nice, but they can do a lot better in other areas.

I wouldn't mind a Lil' GB2 with a 3" blade. Keep the steel M4 please.

The blade on the GB1 is 87mm (3.48")

The GBs were designed just fine IMO. The scale set up is fine. Disengaging the lock isn't a big to deal to me either.

I agree with sharp guy. I love my GB1. It’s the perfect knife for me. I can’t see me using anything else as my main carry blade. The GB2 is nice but I think they nailed it with the original. Speaking from someone who uses it for everything including a lot of stuff it probably should be used for.
Wanted: M4 PM 2 or manix M4.

I seem to remember someone (possibly a member here) customized a GB1 with a blade and handle bob job.

I think we need more 3” blades, period.

This would be *great*. Gayle Bradley blade shapes with a 3" length is a 'yes', particularly in M4.

I hope that it's a knife designed to be a small knife and not a shrunken big knife

Yep, I REALLY like these types of blades. More drop point style blade shapes like the GB, Ocelot, Impala, Starmate, etc but in more affordable G10 (non-Seki G10, non-Carbon Fiber) models out of Golden with ~3" blades in something like DLC Cruwear would rock. What I wouldn't give for a Golden made Red G10 Ocelot with DLC Cruwear... :eek:

I can check to see if the staff and Gayle are interested? With the smaller knives becoming more PC, it's probably a good idea.

I'd also be in for Lil' GB or Lil' GB2. No need to change anything other than the blade and handle length. Red or blue weave CF might be a nice touch though.
