There is a knife that checks off all your points, BUT the version with the hole is discontinued.

Wilson Combat Tactical Elite Level 3 folder. S30V, framelock, titanium handles with G10 inserts, US made, and there was a version with an opening hole. A little luck and some searching you may find you one in stock somewhere, but that's the best I could come up with.

Close, but with 3.95" blade, it violates Rule #3

That thing is basically a Ti Military, which I already own multiples of. :D

You are going to have to go custom man. If a Hinderer isn't perfect enough for you, no production knife is.
 
Oh the Hinderer is near perfect, it just needs a hole.

I'm not a fan of studs, the flipper makes the Hinderer bearable
 
Warren Thomas Model 2.5 Folder All Ti Blade and Handle
3.5 inch blade with hole...no thumb stud.
Fine line between Custom and Production.
 
Alrighty Bro... Here are two suggestions...
Firstly,
1: The Spyderco Tuff... Specs aren't clear yet, AFAIK, but it's a titanium framelock, with a whole. Blade may be a bit long, and I'm not sure if you'd discount it for the full length fuller, but I thought I'd mention it... (Now that I think about it... I'm not sure if the final version is all titanium handled, or if the non locking side is G10, dang it, I don't recall, just now...)
2: And this one's Jenga... If I recall, there is rumor of a special run of the Blade Tech Pro-Hunter Magnum in Titanium, with Frame-lock... (Would you consider a sprint-run to be production?) Look it up, or email Mikey V and he may be able to fill you in. I think that's just about as close as you'll get.

Scary huh? :)

Why not have a hole put in the hinderer? If its that close to perfect just have a shop finish it off.

That's sacrilege, man. I can't do it.

I have a lot of respect for customs and Hinderer's. That's why I want an everyday beater knife, and production is the way to go.
 
ohmyheckinslc ,

I'm watching the Tuff rumors very carefully. I can only hope Sal takes production back to the USA.

I'll check out the Blade Tech. I really like their design. Thanks.

Warren Thomas is custom. And the Ti blade is a no-go for my EDC purposes.

I don't view anything as being above customizing. I've helped people chop up original body panels on "classic" cars and got the same "but why" at shows. Just because.

AFAIK, Sal said that while the Prototype was done in Taiwan in time for those Pics from one of the knife shows, the production will be done here... As for the Blade-Tech Pro-hunter magnums... Great, very sturdy knife. I have the standard G-10 Magnum and it's a great knife... :)
 
ohmyheckinslc,

I searched all over and didn't find the Ti version Blade Tech.

Do you have a pic? You can PM me a link if you find one, don't post though or you'll get dinged for deal spotting.
 
Well as of right now I'd think as sage 2 with an aftermarket STR clip, unfortunately it's made in Taiwan and has a 3in blade, but I'll keep looking :D

How about a fluted native 5 that's coming out?

Yeah, boss, I'll see what I can do... but in the meanwhile, what about the "Combat Elite Tactical Elite Level 3"

I think this link will fly, as they have a forum here. Good luck finding one for sale, but it's close, right!? :)
