Yes, i am slightly obsessed with this knife... but i am curious as to who owns one here, and what your overall opinions are of it.

Rather than waiting for my order from CRK, I may just pick one up form one of the dealers that has one in stock. No sense waiting if i dont have to..

Pics are also very welcome ;)

Heres a few picks of one I had for only a couple of days. Honestly the Ti-Lock wasn't for me but not any fault to the
knife. It was just personal preference. It of course shares the same build quality and tolerances as a Sebenza but
other than that it is a completley different knife. It's one hell of a slicer though. Hollow grind with a fairly thin blade
stock. Opening and closing will take getting used to. With enough practice you can open and close one handed.
If your a fan of CRK knives then I think you should definitley handle a ti-lock at least once.

The Ti-Lock has been my EDC for a little over 3 months now. The more I carry it the more I love it. It's very concealable, very easy to carry, weighs a lot less than the Sebenza while offering similar amount of cutting edge. The blade to handle ratio is amazing, I've never seen a knife with less than 4" handle and a 3.25" blade.
After you get used to the mechanism it's actually fairly easy to operate single handed. I wish the blue tension bar could stay blue forever because it's very aesthetically pleasing, but it does wear off over time.

I had doubts about how the lock-up will hold up over time, but after countless number of openings I think I'm covered.
