I have always enjoyed knives but have just began carrying one regularly. When I buy something I try and buy what will suit my needs the best right from the get go so I bought a small Sebenza. I love the knife completely. The only problem is I think the knife bug has bit me and I'm looking for something new. I don't want to replace the Sebenza by any means, I just want something to switch it up. I like things plan and simple, much like the Sebenza, clean. I would like my new knife to be similar. I would also like it to be similar in size. I wouldn't mind a knife slightly longer but I really like how slim the Sebenza is. I took the pocket clip off and like the way I forget I even have the knife until I need it, or want to hold it. I also like the titanium handles and the way it scuffs up after it has been used. Price is not a problem as I am willing to spend for a knife that will satisfy my itch. So experts whats the best small ish, slim, plain jane knife with titanium handles? Thanks in advance.
 
Bradley Alias 2.
Boker Subcom Titan - kinda wide but very short and thin.

Also it's not titanium but it does have that beautiful simple look to it and it's nice and small as well as thin:
Spyderco Chaparral - It's small, light weight, Carbon Fiber, Very Smooth Lock and Action(easily opened and closed once handed), Thin, has good steel, thin blade for excellent slicing and cutting, etc. I carry it(99.9% of the time) with my Large Sebenza.

Or as listed above you could pick up a Hinderer.
Or a Small Sebenza Insingo.
Or if you don't mind the nice inlays, a Chris Reeve Mnandi.
 
Spyderco Sage II. Awesome knife and slightly bigger than a small Sebenza. Quality is very high.
 
I'm interested in the Hinderer and the Ray Laconico, the Laconico even more than the Hinderer. Is there anywhere to buy the Slim or do I just have to be lucky and find a used one. Any other ideas?
 
The Benchmade 790 Subrosa is larger than a Sebbie, but lighter. It's assisted and fires like a rocket, the titanium scales are thin, yet it's a quality tool through and through.
 
Price, no object, as you stated- try out the Hinderer xm18 .
If you really want to change things up- the more than affordable
spyderco caly 3, vg-10. It has temporarily relieved my small sebenza
and xm18 of pocket duties.

Ya, those Laconico are mighty enticing.

The boker Cox comes to mind. Believe it or not the Strider SnG actually has the same cutting edge as a sm Seb. Or you could check out a Lg Seb for giggles. I really dig my sm Seb but the lg is a little handier.
 
Gareth Bull Warlock, but you are going to have to wait. He is not taking orders now. He posted new designs yesterday in the Warlock II that is one page 2 on the general forum.

That or you can buy an Andre Thornburn with IKBS or Andre van Heerden or Des Horn folder. All fantastic knife makers and there are a few shops that stock them in the USA.
 
jeremy robertson makes a knife called the El patron. all titanium and whatever steel you want on around a 2 month wait. currently his production runs are d-2 and 3v but he will do whatever you want. I have one in SM-100(NiTiNOL) and its the same thickness handle and blade wise as a crk Umnum. did i mention he will make a smaller version too if thats what you want?
