I just got my GPB1 in today and love it.... except the action was real gritty at first, I cleaned it and it deploys pretty good but one thing is bugging me. I know most descriptions doesn't say if it gas bearings or washers but the ones that do say bearings. I haven't taken it apart but it looks like washers. You can usually see the cage if its bearings. It just looks like 3 bronze washers stacked on both sides. Other than that beautiful knife.

Beautiful!! But as Bobraz has said more of a looker than a user. Just a personal taste. The Kizer Gemini practicality and simplicity appeals more to me.

Big, beefy knife, chunky blade, with lots of belly. Would have been nicer with a mirror or polished finish, I feel the stonewash makes it look somewhat cheaper (especially at the price point!). I'm on the edge about the odd aesthetic; I don't hate it, but I'm not sure if I like it.
I think I like looking at it - except for the stonewash finish - but I would probably not buy it, nor carry it (even if I got it for free).
