Spyderco's latest collaboration with renowned custom knifemaker Gayle Bradley is the Bradley Folder 2. This extremely refined design draws from Bradley's extensive experience as a custom knifemaker and competitive cutting champion, as well as detailed feedback from end users of his knives. It also reflects both his passion and Spyderco's commitment to making even the best designs better through Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.). The Bradley Folder 2 retains all the core qualities that made the first-generation design so popular, including a hollow-ground, high-alloy CPM-M4 tool steel blade, full skeletonized stainless steel liners, a high-strength liner lock mechanism, carbon fiber/G10 laminate scales, and a four-position hourglass clip that allows a full spectrum of carry positions. In the Bradley Folder 2, these advanced features are shaped into a form that is slimmer, lighter, and more ergonomically refined than the original. Its slightly longer handle offers enhanced leverage and control, while the subtle texture and flat profile of the scales provide a secure grip that remains comfortable even during extended use. The thick, flush-finished liner lock ensures superior strength and helps prevent unintentional lock release. Together, these features make the Bradley Folder 2 an incredibly capable everyday carry knife that offers enhanced control, unparalleled cutting performance and extreme edge retention in a pocket-friendly package.
