Hi guys, I'd like to get a recommendation from you all.

I'm looking for a replacement for my 2009 CRK Umnumzaan, with a twist... I want a flipper or auto! I'm looking for a knife that has the following

- Full titanium scales
- 3.4-4.5 inch blade
- Price range of up to 600/700
- Backed by a great warranty/knifemaker

The following is also preferred, but not necessary:

- Midtech/custom
- Frame lock
- IKBS pivot
- Large pivot (like on my Umnumzaan)

I'm allowed to carry automatics, so if any of them meet the criteria, feel free to list them.


I've considered a few knives that I've come across (Hoback Kwaiback midtech, Curtiss F3..) but I'd like a few more ideas.
I already have a Full ti Hinderer 3", just an fyi, so no need to recommend Hinderers of any shape.

Thanks for your time, and have a good one.
 
I don't know of any Ti autos...

If having a beefy pivot is a must I'd get a Les Voorhies Model 9 or a Robertson El Patron for that kind of coin.

The Voorhies is a liner lock and the Patron uses bronze washers...

Knives that fit every requirement except for the pivot would be a Laconico or Leu.

As far as mid-tech, the Wilson Combat Eagle is all that comes to mind.
 
You'll have a lot of money left over from your budget, but the ZT 0801 also jumps to mind for me.
 
Wilson Combat Eagle made by Les George with full titanium handles and frame lock and a 3.6" blade of CTS-XHP (RC 60). Deploys as fast and reliably as anything out there. Very smooth and fairly thin. The Wilson Starburst Titanium handle pattern gives you real good grip.

If I could carry it all-day I would but in L.A. it's the 3" blade length limit.

Here are standalone pictures and alongside my 3" L.A. EDC flippers (MicroTech Mini Matrix & CRKT Eros):

For auto, there is the Diskin "Fire" but scales are not Ti. Search on it in the sale exchange under Autos to see what they look like.

For full Ti, I also suggest the Wilson combat, as pictured above.
