So I have finally saved up some money and I want a titanium frame lock, sadly I didn't save up enough to get a 400 dollar knife. I'm looking for a full titanium frame lock any steel. I have had a sage 2 but it was too "leaf like" for me. What would be some good knives in this price range either new or used?
 
zt 560 for something manly and epic. Southard if you can kind it for something practical
 
For 200 get the 550, I would save 200 more and get a strder , but that's just me,
 
Im going with the ZT0560/1 or the Boker pipsqueak if you want a big blade go with the ZT its a great knife the bearings are awesomely smooth. If you want something a little shorter but still feel like a big knife in hand then the pipsqueak is great aswell, its a big brute in a little package. you could also wait a little bit and see what the lionsteel mini
sr-1 lists for.
 
You didn't list a size that you are interested in. And when you say 'Full Titanium' do you mean BOTH scales? That will REALLY limit your selections as most Ti knives have G-10 or some other material on the non-locking side. There is the Spyderco Techno, and the Boker Albatros. Both are full Ti and are in your price range.

If you are interested in knives with a single Ti scale and G-10, the list gets much larger.

Spyderco Southard (You can find these used for $200)
Spyderco Chokwe
Spyderco Tuff (if you can add about $30 to your budget)
ZT 550/560/561/300/301
DPX HEST 2.0

I'm sure there are several others, these are just what comes to mind.
 
I would recommend you just keep saving until you have the $400 to get the knife you really want. Patience is a virtue.
 
If you're looking for a slim EDC the Bradley Alias 1 or 2 is a nice knife at the price point. A Benchmade Subrosa is also full ti with a spring assist along with being nice and slim.
If you don't mind a little G10 on one side the ZT 550 is a beefy EDC blade (which I love).
Looking for Ti G10 flipper the ZT 560 is super cool as is the Southard which is a bit smaller than the 560.
 
Save another grand and get a Praetorian Ti (goes right along with the "patience is a virtue" post above ;) ).
 
Not sure if you are looking for all Ti or just lock. ZT 0560/0561 if just lock. Spyderco Ti Military if all Ti. If looking for something on the smaller side probably go for Spyderco Techno.
