Each meet seems to be even better than the last one and this one was the best yet IMO. I loved to see all those spydieknuts, there’s a great atmosphere at these gatherings. Also, I loved seeing and handling all those prototypes (and concept models I can’t show you)! I did my best to get as much pics as possible from each model. So without further ado, here’s the Gayle Bradley designed Air.
It’s a nifty little pocket knife. It is clipless and handles as light as pocket lint. This knife has a good edge to handle ratio with a CPM-M4 blade. The silver twill handle is very stylish. I peeked inside the handle to see generously skeletonized handles. I did notice a second little cutout in the liner close to the pivot. Did anyone catch what the purpose was for this cutout? The wharncliffe blade is thin and ends in a needle-like tip. In a way, a surprisingly elegant little folder for a designer who’s known for the big cutting completion knives.
Love it! The silver twill is an interesting touch. Looks like a beautiful little knife, and I cant wait to see what else you have in store for us.
wow beatiful design, spyderco never ends to surprise me

Left hand model for the Gayle Bradley Air !?! Looks nice.
Not really, there’s no clip but the lock still favors right-handed users. It’s still very useable for a lefty though, I’m one myself.
