Title says it all ... had one a while ago, couldn't bond with it but I am considering it again. Would love to hear the opinion of fellow CRK hardcore fans such as myself!

I am very familiar with it ... just interested in hearing the "emotional" side of things if that makes any sense (such as "I freaking hate it!" ... or not).

Cheers!
 
It's a great knife. You won't get any pleasure from mindless opening and closing while watching TV in the evening, but as a unique and useful pocket knife it's a good choice.

Opening one-handed is easy, closing is a bit trickier and probably not too safe.
 
I absolutely love mine! I had the chance to first hold it at Blade of last year, and I instantly had to have one!

Its void of all the inlaid stuff and damascus whatnot..just simple.It's super solid of course and the lock design is very ingenious. I like it because its different and unlike anything ever made before.

The blue anodized "lock" is so cool looking! I love the area where it fits into the blade. All the edges are smoothed out, and you can tell Chris really paid attention to this area so as to be null of any sharp edges.

The knife can be opened and closed a few different ways also. It can even be "flicked!" Closing requires a little more skill, but using two hands for me is fine. Fantastic knife. If you like Chris Reeve anything, you need to experience this gem!

 
I had one shortly after they first came out. Mine was among the first batch stonewashed as the original 50-60 of them were sandblasted like a plain jane sebenza. I loved it and carried it a short while. I later sold it to fund something else CRK that I had my eye on. I have ZERO complaints with the TiLock. Its an ingenious little knife and its not little really. You get Lots of blade in a small package I believe, and just look at the above post, the pic shows the TiLock perfectly. I never had an issue opening or closing the knife one handed. Though two hands was probably more appropriate. I found the knife to very comfortable in hand with everything nicely contoured. The lockup was like a vault. The overall design was well thought out and was very well executed. I WILL have another one day, its just only a matter of time. The next one will be a keeper I am sure.
 
Love the look, love the feel, love the size..... Just not the price tag.

I agree 100%. The knife is CRK perfect, but the price tag is a little high. I think it should be more in the $425 range at the most. I would imagine thats what CRK wants for it, while Hawk wants the rest.....lol. Either way, Great Knife and I will get another one day.
 
Bastard kept pinching my thumb the 3 or 4 days I had it ... I also liked the original sandblasted finish better ...
 
Love the ti lock, a little on the small side for normal edc but as said above, it has a lot of blade for such a small handle. My first choice if wearing a suit or shorts.
 
It seems like a great size, right in between the small and large Sebenzas. I would own one for sure if the pocket clip was reversible for us lefties. I'm still thinking about getting one some day as the blade shape and ergos really speak to me.
 
Great ergonomics, perfect edc blade size (for me) and just different in a cool way. I purchased mine, decided I liked it and my wife immediately sent it off to Chis Reeve to have it engraved for my 50th birthday. After a bit of practice you can open and close it by flicking the dumbbell with your thumb. I also like how you can choke up on the choil.

I've got a couple, and they're great knives. But my clumsy hands can't open and close them well.
 
It's an interesting item - I only have some difficulties to get myself one.
There are so many nice Sebies out there, so it is not on top of my list.
I like the blade shape and the blade length.
Is that emotional enough?
