What made you choose the other version over the TI version? Seems the ti is slightly thicker. I'm worried about my incoming G-10 version being too thin. Hot spot wise.

That had a lot to do with it. I don't like crater patterns very much aesthetically and I know it will be similar to Strider's DGG pattern where it will absolutely shred pockets. My preferred model would be full Ti, with the same machining on the scales as the G10/CF models.
The handle is superbly comfortable. The only hot spot for me is when you really squeeze hard, the sides of the pocket clip are a little sharp. When I do a video review of it, I will point it out.

Haha I swear I must have that. The pattern and how if would grip is off putting for me. I noticed purple is selling his ti version. He said he likes the other better. Was curious as to the the major differences he encounterd.

Honestly i like the slim profile of the g10 version as well as the feel in the hand. They are both super comfortable bit i still prefer the g10 model. The grip on the crater pattern is very grippy in the hand bit due to the tweaked clip placement i dont think it would be that hard on anyones jeans. I also prefer the stonewash finished blade better. If i had got both knoves at the exact same time I probably would have a hard time choosing which to keep. But i dont do safe queens anymore and its a waste imho to have two knives in an edc rotation that are so close to each other. I would rather have variety. So i chose to move the knife that hadnt been used though much of my mind was made up by the ergos and weigt of my original knife. Plus i put a killer mirrored edge on the g10 knife that i wanted to keep, lol.

Good call and reasons I think. Got mine in today and I love the stonewashed blade. Thin yet good width in hand with the standoffs. Feels study and flips well. Not sure I'm used to the blade shape yet cut all around impressed. Is there a washer on the G-10 side so it doesn't wear along with bearings? I assume but it's difficult to tell. Carried really well and the pocket clip is well done. It's light but balances exactly in the middle of the folder. Not blade or handle heavy. I could never keep most folders that were too blade heavy making the handle and knife overall feel cheap. This feels just right for a light EDC.

Yeah, there is a hardened washer in the G10 side prevent wear.
