I want a titanium EDC folder

[Wasty]

Argh, now the "complete the team" bug got me.

Since I have lately been on the titanium train with new watches and my edc pen is also made of this wonderful material, I think I want a titanium folder as well...



Since folders are nice, but not neccessary for my knife needs, I'll rather have something nice and visually fitting to my two titanium EDC's

So from my first look around I found some nice, simple knives, that look nice but are missing something

1. Tactile Knife Bexar - beautiful knife, and actually the blade shape I want, but a tad small & no clip
2. Böker tech tool 1 Titanium - Discontinued and als a bit small
3. Oberland Arms Titan Sepp - Well, quite a statement and not very gentlemanish

My Budget is up to 300-400€ max, but if there is something soemthing more affordable, I'm all ears...

The Small Sebenza, Spyderco PITS and Spydiechef are my favorite titaniums, plus a couple more that are no longer made. Although the Swayback is probably still around. I also like the Boker Urban Trapper Plus, but the ball bearings are not that great in a true EDC user.

I like the civivi elementum. Just a good all round easy to use knife.

They do a titanium.

Kizer drop bear do a titanium.

And you can get titanium scales for a lot of popular knives.
Say a benchmade bugout or something.

There a lot of great titanium folders out there at that price point. My go-to when I want to carry something that looks classy, carries thin, and didn't break the bank is the Kizer Begleiter.
Good EDC steel, nice orange peel finish to the titanium, fast flipper action, blue hardware dresses it up nicely.

Flytanium Cadet?

Keep in mind, you may want something with a "fidget factor" such as the Drop Bear or Elementum mentioned above! Both are solid choices and fun to fidget with thanks to their axis lock or button lock!

 

[Wasty]

There are indeed a ton of really nice offers out there.

I just saw the DEMKO AD20.5 with smooth titanium and I think I'm in love...

If I look at the overall verdict here, that could be a nice choice.

- Real Steel Luna Eco

- Kubey Pike

- QSP Penguin Ti

- Quiet Carry Drift (or other)

- Kunwu (anything) Tao Compact here...

- TwoSun TS90
- Pick a Spyderco, any Spyderco, upgrade the scales (or get one that comes with Ti scales, like the Spydiechef)

George VECP Magnacut

CRK Umnamzaan

In your budget, these are two of the best. I'd find a user and enjoy one of the above. These are fine knives and an amazing examples of modern knife technology.

Lots of good choices available now, but I'd still rank CRK at the top.

I haven't looked at real steel in a while. That ti knife is quite nice.

I loved my Begleiter mini. 3" blade, M390 blade, and machined Titanium scales for $100 and change. 2 positives for me were: not a frame lock (internal lock, maybe liner lock, I forget) AND not a flipper. So if you are older than 40, this could be the knife for you.

 

[iacchus]

you are spoiled for choice.
You really need to filter down some. Locking mechanism? Blade length, blade steel, blade style?

Plain all Ti folders are my favorites for daily carry. I own a lot of them & none of them cost me more than $400 (US).

I'm currently carrying a Tom Krein Shard, that I recently purchased, but the ones that I usually carry are the:

1) Spyderco Advocate
2) Spyderco Swayback
3) Real Steel Megalodon
4) Olamic Wayfarer 247

I also own but haven't yet carried a plain Ti Arnold Bernard iMamba that I also recently purchased.

Among these, I'd recommend the Spyderco Swayback, which "best buy" because it's "in stock" & currently available for less than $200 (US) from many sources.

Here they are pictured below in the order mentioned above:

I've also got a Lionsteel ROK & a Spyderco SpydieChef, Slysz Bowie (original & KnifeJoy versions), Military (both plain & fluted) Nirvana, K2 & Mantra 1 & 2, which are all plain Ti knives but that I never carry any them for various reasons.

I've also got a lot of G10/Ti scale combos but AFAIK we're not discussing those here.

Another option is the Italian-made LionSTEEL Skinny. Available in titanium or aluminium. Removable/reversable clip and removable flipper tab as well:

Wow, that's amazing Thank you guys! I'll take a deep dive into this tonight

For me that’s a no-brainer: Boker Urban Trapper Titanium. I think Boker recently stopped producing these so may be hard to find brand new. They come in a large and small version. I recently acquired a small because that’s all I could find. I love it but I still hope to find the large size!

 

[mitchnola]

Check out the Les George morp vecp or talos. Both may be hard to find but you may enjoy the hunt. And they’re hard to find for a reason.

I'll throw SHFs hat in the ring! I love all of mine!
