The Military framelock is an awesome knife. There are two versions, the plain handle, and the fluted/anodized handle. The latter one is limited production and you see it out of stock most times. The plain model is in stock at a lot of dealers.

Lockup is excellent and relies on a hardened steel insert that is screwed into the back of the titanium leaf. Hardened steel wears at a slower rate than titanium and I'm happy to see it used in the Military. Don't know if you are familiar with the Lion Steel SR-1 series of titanium framelocks, but it also uses a hardened steel insert.

The first version of the plain all-Ti framelock didn't have the steel lockbar insert. Unless I were collecting variants, I think I'd make sure the dealer was going to ship me the new version...I would guess there are quite a few of the first version still in dealer inventory...
