If you're a knife enthusiast searching for a rare Spyderco UK find, the C134CFP Gayle Bradley Folder is an elite addition to any serious collection. This example is a first production GB1, differentiated from later productions by full non-skeletonised steel liners, engraved 'Taiwan' only (not Taiwan Taichung), and rumoured to have an HRC of 64-65 HRC before it was dialled back to around 62 in order to ease manufacturing of subsequent GB1s.

"The GB1 is flat out my favourite Spyderco collab. M4 steel with a beautifully thin hollow grind, combined with a chunky and ergonomic handle. This knife is the ultimate workhorse." - Mr. Narwhal 
Don't Mess with Texas
Designed in collaboration with renowned Texan knifemaker Gayle Bradley, an expert known for crafting hard-use, competition-ready blades the GB folder merges rugged utility with refined aesthetics.
Gayle Bradley built his reputation in the world of custom knives and cutting competitions, even earning a BladeSports World Cutting Championship title using a blade that dominated challenges like slicing through eleven inches of hanging rope. His knives are known for performance, not polish and this Spyderco collaboration carries that legacy forward.
At the heart of the C134CF is a hollow-ground, satin-finished blade made from Crucible CPM-M4 steel, one of the toughest tool steels available. Originally used in high-impact industrial applications, CPM-M4 offers superior edge retention and exceptional resistance to chipping or wear. Thanks to Crucible's particle metallurgy process, the steel's fine grain structure enhances both performance and durability. The modified drop-point profile with a swedge along the spine ensures cutting power without unnecessary weight.
The handle features elegant yet durable twill carbon fiber scales and houses a Michael Walker LinerLock mechanism for safe and secure blade lockup. Beneath the scales, full-length stainless steel liners add rigidity and support. With screw-together construction, this knife is also easy to maintain and clean. For flexible, user-friendly carry, the four-position hourglass clip allows tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-handed configurations.
Whether you're an everyday user or a collector looking for a rare Spyderco in the UK, the Gayle Bradley Folder delivers unmatched craftsmanship, cutting performance, and a touch of tactical elegance.
