I have the GB1 but it's pretty much the same thing. Also have the PM2. What do you want with the knife? The Bradley is M4 steel that can rust if not looked after, the PM2 comes in stainless. The Bradley has a strong beefy liner lock but the PM2's compression lock is stronger still. If you don't have a PM2 you must get one; after that look if you want a hard use cutting tool and add a Bradley.

I like the look of the GB2 much more than the GB1. The knife has a longer blade, is thinner and lighter than the GB1. The liners on the GB2 is thinner than on the GB1. I have not held a GB2 but have a good idea of what the PMII is and how it feels.
It really is a pitty that we do not have shops in CPT stocking these knives, or do we? I would love to take my PMII and go do a comparison on how the knife feels in hand and in pocket.

The Bradley does not feel like a Spyderco if that makes sense? The ergonomics are of a whole different breed of knives. The PM2 feels like other Spydies.
