Been looking for a good framelock, and I was wondering if the engagement surfaces of the Ti lockbar are hardened against longterm wear on the blade tang, a la Sebenza?

Thanks,
Chad

The S30V blade is much harder than the Titanium. Titanium gets up to about a 46 rockwell while S30V is over 60. Overtime it will wear down, just like a Sebenza or a Strider SNG, but it takes a long time.

for answering this one Mr. Mayo. I'm still new to the whole framelock thing, but thought that this would be an important feature for a Ti framelock. Not many others seem to want to talk about it. Definitely says something for the quality you expect from your collaboration with Buck.

I own one of these I can vouch for the fact that it's an extremely good pocket knife. Solid, sharp, lightweight, easy to maintain, and sheeple friendly.
