What are my options for a sub $200 Ti frame lock? So far I am looking at a Benchmade 760 LFTi (which might be a little big), a Spyderco Sage 2, and a Bradley Alias. Anyone have any experience with these or other knives that I might not know about?

P.S. No assisted openers please.
 
The Sage2 looks very "elegant"
 
I know i'm not going to be the only one who says this... Save that $200 and get one big step closer to a Sebenza.
 
I have a spyderco Sage II and I really like it. My wife got it for me as a wedding present. The lock up on it is amazing, no play what so ever. It has a stop pin design like the sebenza. It opens very smooth and you can't beat s30v. My favorite feature on this knife has got to be the wire clip. It's nice on the pocket, but holds firm and does not impede on any grip options. Also you should be able to find one for much less than $200.
 
Also take a look at the Spyderco Ti Military, though it might be a bit of a wait to get it since their limited production.
 
A. G. Russell Italian Made Tactical

Frame lock, 3 1/2" hair popping sharp blade, smooth open and close. A great deal at 1/2 your price and you may even be able to get one for less.
 
Spyderco Sage 2 fan here. I sold a Sebenza to get it and I don't regret it a bit. I am saving for a second to keep as a backup. Wonderful knife.

Grizz
 
If a blem does not bother you - you cannot beat the Kershaw JYD2 titanium SG2 "super steel" blems that the Kershawguy is selling.

This was a limited edition knife - 1000 pieces were made.

He's selling blems on the Dealer forum in the Exchange section at a very reasonable price - well below your budget.

They are sweet.

Titanium scales with the fuselage pattern, frame lock, and combo blade with an SG2 cutting edge.

It is a flipper - but not AO.

By far my favorite production knife

Another +1 for the Ti/SG2 JYDII. It's an awesome Ti framelock for the price. Especially kershawguy's price.
 
In a few more weeks the new Benchmade Sibert MPR should be available (Hopefully!). You might want to add that to your list for consideration.
 
I'll add my vote for the Sage 2. I absolutely love mine. It will be the only knife I've every purchased two of so that I have a backup.

If you decide to get one - please post some sort of review.

I've been looking at these - but I am worried that the knife overall is too small for me.
