I'm glad you let us watch the modification. You may think it's boring, but it's not(IMO). People watch you sharpen, so watching you mod shouldn't be less interesting. We're entertained longer 😁.
I think it looks great, but silver hardware would definitely add a point.
Thanks DE yeah i might do more mod videos and i try to cut them to make them more watchable
This! It’s specifically what I searched for. Just got the CruWear BHQ and had the regular 2 a long time ago. Not going through that pain again 🤣 so here I am. Thankfully he did this.
One thing I'd change on the GB2, other than the lock bar, would be larger washers. Something like the SnG
Are you ok? I seen that shank coming out and getting wobbly then you edited it out put back in shank deeper..Your stone was loading/creating a groove..a high grit sanding disc/drum works great for light work like this but still an awesome job modding Jared..thanks for your time and effort brother..
Yeah it never came all the way out i just wasnt tightening it enough because it went so quick all together it was maybe 5 min or so on the dremel i just cut to push it back down and tighten, I try to make the videos more watchable by editing some of the bs out
@@NeevesKnives Knice...I like modding or tweaking knives too..two things happen...
1)Usually it becomes a better knife/tool
2)It becomes yours because its something you crafted in gratifying way you did yourself and can't buy that way..
So it's real knice to see UA-camrs do it because while you enjoy it at the same time it teaches or inspires other to do it to..
Thanks again for all your videos and kindness to the UA-cam world..
Stay safe and keep that edge right..
Most likely gonna pick up the cruwear one on Monday and do this mod to the liner access as well. Good vid great knife. peace
The black hardware looks REALLY nice with that color scheme. I don't think all silver would look as good.
Yeah i think your right, what about if i throw a different clip on then the hardware wont match unless i get a black one, I was just thinking about possibly putting some new hardware on and clip take it to the next level you know
@@NeevesKnives It would probably work as long as the finish came close to matching the finish on the blade. Then you'd only have two "colors".
@@davidh0159 bronzing them would look good if i stripped them possibly stonewashed would look great to especially if the clip was, i could do the blade as well but i like the way the blade looks
I know this came out months ago but its like Jered is building a mini encyclopedia of tutorials on dope knife shit. Man I really appreciate the content cause today I bought the gb2 and the first vid I clicked on was urs after typing gb2. Thx again keep up the grind!
That is amazing, i still get excited when i see one of the videos pop up from a search.
I will personally never understand micarta. No appeal to me at all but it’s nice that we all have options.
I was looking at this knife and the Kapara as the carry profile and blade shape is similar. I decided on the Kapara and It just arrived 15 minutes ago in the mail. Wow! What A knife. Action is awesome and incredibly sharp right out of the box. Love it.
I am thinking of going with a stainless pocket clip for my Gail Bradley 2 with the original scales and screws… the black screws blend nicely with the carbon fiber scales and I just thought it’d look better with a stainless pocket clip to go with the blade??? You can barely notice the screws but the blade is evident open or closed…
I took mine down A BUNCH and love it. I can fit just about my whole thumb tip on the lockbar now
So much bettet
Just arrived! Can't how smooth this knife is on the open and close. I have titanium fluted military and that is crazy smooth but this Gayle Bradley is also glass smooth very impressive. I always waited to pull the trigger on this one for years finally did. And wow it's incredible may be in the future I will swap scales to micarta because I'm really on a micarta craze but scales are pretty nice to great video as usual.
I found some OD burlap micarta scales I'm going to throw on. I like the oem cf, but I think the micarta will be even better
Love the micarta on mine, the lockbar made a massive difference
Silver hardware and a polished Lynch clip. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the sharpening video too.
I think it does look really good. The black isn't bad but it does stick out a bit. Maybe acid wash the blade? Not sure.
Hilltop said i should strip the screws annd bronze them
@@NeevesKnives that would be really cool. Especially after the micarta gets a bit of a patina. I'd like to see the bronzing process in another tutorial video.
@@jbooze9920 yeah definitely thats what i was thinking something to make it unique and mine
These Gale Bradley’s are dope!! I like the look of them a lot! Also the micarta looks pretty good to! I like black so I’d say stay with the black hardware cause black goes with everything.
That is true and i do like the black but it doesnt match the liners or blade I might possibly strip and stonewash everything idk maybe maybe il just leave it
I found holding the dremel on the table and runing the liner over it instead allowed better control
Strip the black coating off the screws and bronze them.
Ooooooo HILLTOP WITH THE GREAT ADVICE! thanks bud thats a good idea, was thinking about doing something else i definitely want to get a different clip maybe even something special idk. Thanks BJ
I agree..love bronze and black..getting ready to do my Shaman someday..I'm a procrastinator...lol
@@knaftasticedc956 the shanan is a great one to mod ive got mine still in the works all black and red with red micarta im loving it
@@NeevesKnives super knice bro..
Did you notice they even have stropping compound in those dremel kits??? I'll tell ya a lil secret that I do, I take the cloth buffing wheel and spray a ken schwartz 1 micron diamond spray on it and then after I sharpen a knife I very very lightly and on low speed go over the edge and it completely removes any burr and leaves you a stupid sharp polished edge!
Nice! Very smart
I like the black I think it will just get better as the micarta darkens. Great job 👍
Question, could this be done on a titanium scale ? I have a new knife that I'm going to mod anyways but the access to the liner lock sucks. Have you done a video or could you provide any advise ? Using a dremel as well thanks !
I may mod mine too, though I am fine with the original scales. Keep a few titanium pocket clips in stock, and I rarely leave the stock Spyderco clips on.
Yes on the Silver hardware!!
I’m wondering, I have 4 Spyderco right now, Resilience, Centifanta, Gail Bradley 2, St Nicks exclusive Manix 2 XL, and a Smock hopefully somewhere in the yard… but why I’m commenting is cuz I put a deep carry pocket clip on the Manix and the mushroom like screws don’t allow it to go completely down and I’m wondering if there’s a chance there’s screws and/or screws that can be flat headed or deep carry pocket clip that comes countersunk with flat top screws that fit the three hole spoon type clips??? I’m also wondering if there’s any chance that maybe some two hole pocket clips would work like that from a Benchmade??? My micrometer has a dead battery and I’ve been unable to measure em’
Thanks for this video man! I just did this on my own GB2 and it came out awesome
I think gold or brass screws/hardware would look nice too, just got done watching your video.
Awesome! Yeah i agree, im not sure which one yet but the bronzed sounds really good
HEELLOO Neeve's Knifers!
Wasuuip
People are saying brass hardware, and I agree, but if it were mine, I'd try red...(in Photoshop first)! P.S. watched the whole video in spite of my hate of dentists.
Loli appreciate you watching sorry for all the dremel, the red does sound pretty cool
Am I the only guy that thinks the lock bar access on the GB is perfectly fine?
Love the micarta! I don’t mind the black hardware but I’d throw that LynchNW clip on it tho! Looks sweet tho bro frfr
Yeah its way better with the lynch clip
@@NeevesKnives you have a question above this that I don't think you got a notification for ☝️👍
I was sitting here wondering what I could do about the access to the liner lock and shabam, there is your vid on the subject. Great timing man. Why didn’t you take down the the scales too? Also, can you tell me where I can get a deep carry clip? Thanks
I definitely plan on doing the same to mine. Haven't decided what scales I really want yet though. I need to get a green stone for finishing first before I start.
I also planned on smoothing out the teeth on the lockbar itself. I think the serrations are rediculous and unnecessary. I have calloused thumbs and those serations just shred the callouses right off my thumb. It's really excessive. The spyder hole is also sharp. I really never understood why they leave the edges of the hole as sharp as they do.
And before somebody says "it costs a lot more to chamfer", yeah maybe for small makers in the US is might, but this is from Taiwan, they have the machinery to do that. Honey Badger puts an amazing bevel and chamfer on their deployment holes on the D2 models that make the inside smooth and a general pleasure to use. And those knives aren't expensive.
Yeah I kind of like the holes to be semi sharp but a small chamfer would do well, when the chamfers are big thats when you slip off when they are small thats when they are perfect, my jimping isnt very sharp but could have been with the way its cut, they must have smoothed mine a bit, and the green stone does smooth it out but the orange is pretty smooth as well, the buffing wheel would work also because its already so smooth, but the green does kinda help blend it all in its a very soft stone though. What is your detent like? Mine is on the lighter side
Looking good! Definitely an improvement. I like the black hardware. Later
Thanks for the detailed video. But keep the black hardware :) I think it looks awesome, plus the clip has black chrome finish and is very durable.
I wound up keeping the hardware but changed the clip to deep carry, i might change it back but it does look good
@@NeevesKnives BTW I ordered the Bradley 2 yesterday - if I like it, I am definitely getting micarta scales for it (or even might try to make some). This is a working knife after all :)
@@matusknives its definitely a working knife, funny thats what's in my pocket now going to work
@@NeevesKnives that speaks for itself
Always gonna upvote mod content. Bronzed hardware.
Take a regular pencil and draw on your blade where it contacts the lock bar and the graphite should eliminate that little bit of lock stick
Its already gone it was mostly from oil
I just got one of these and really want to do this with mine... would you consider doing this for somebody?
Absolutely get ahold of me on Instagram or email
@@NeevesKnives what's your email and how much would you charge me for an acid etch of the blade/liners, a sharpening and the Lockbar modification? I would happily pay you for your help after I pick out and get my new scales.
@@dustinwhitt5297 contact me
Jrneeve@gmail.com or neevesknives on Instagram
@@NeevesKnives sent an email.
Do you have a carbide scribe and do you have any carbide bur/cutters ??
I do have a carbide burr cuttwr the scribe i cant find i have one somewhere but idk what the hell happened to it
@@NeevesKnives Carbide burs are costly but worth it... As for your scribe I always have mine at hand. If you miss yours and decide you must have one I can send you one or whatever. I ink first then scribe, I do have a few types of scribes, but normally carbide and my second non-woodworking one is tool steel harder than a preacher's pecker.
@@carbonitegamorrean8368 dude i used to use my scribe all the time that probably how i lost it, bits of any kind are so important and useful i just got a pack of diamond bits for doing small choils im constantly using my dremel and other tools
You should do a blue ano hardware set on it
That sounds kinda sweet rt, idk if a ti stonewashed clip would be good or maybe something else idk
Neeves Knives yeah either that or the bronzed hardware would look sick and give it that customized one of a kind piece
Was kinda hoping to see the sharpening or atleast the knife afterwards and your opinion of it then lol
TOMARROW im sharpening it live
I think, if u ever wanna sell that knife...look my way...I want one but afraid cos I live in the tropics
Yeah m4 isn't the best for tropical s90v 20cv, best would be vanadium, n690, 14c28n vg10 exc.. for your environment
I'd go with bronze colored hardware.
Doesn't oiling the liners attract dirt and dust or is it an acceptable trade off to protect liners from rust ?
I dry them off completely before installing and its good to oil the liners especially the sides that are going to be covered so that moisture doesnt effect them
@@NeevesKnives thanks for tip
@@NeevesKnives sorry man 2nd time watching video realized you said it's important to dry off metal after oiling , twice no less .
Thank you bro for this video ;) I did the modd and I've changed the clip for a deep pocket clip for one in titanium black but I don't have a @sliceydicey friend and I would like to know where I could buy this micarta's scales for my GB2 ;) Thanks again Jared (it's Jared or Jerad as you About section mention it ?)
Mine had the lock stick when it was new too, but its gone now.
10:10 lol I looked over to the left and thought is there blood on my iPad wtf.....gets bleach wipe.....it’s not coming up wtf......oh it’s on the lime green board.
😆 ive totally done that before
I feel so bad that you have old videos with that punk Slicey Dicey in them. He’s not worthy of sharing a video with someone as awesome as you are to the community.
