My Ti-Lock has landed... it's fun to operate, it's cool, it's extremely well made. Slightly smaller blade than Sebenza, and considerably smaller than Umnumzaan. I like it! It's sure different but I really like it :D

How does it feel in the hand? Does it give you the impression that you have something hardcore or is it more for delicate work? How does it feel to open and close with one hand?
 
Great photos! I'd also love to hear some more details of your initial impressions of the Ti-Lock.
 
One hand opening is easy and natural, closing is just easy. There is nothing hardcore about this knife - just perfectly engineered EDC gem. For hardcore action I'd take Umnumzaan any day. However, Ti-Lock is also much stronger than Mnandi. It's between Sebenza and Mnandi in weight, size, sturdyness. BUT... Ti-Lock has much better blade-to-handle ratio than any other CRK folder, at least it looks like that :D
 
Some more observations...


It's fineengineering project, G&G designed a lock, which is integrated in blade, not handle. Something cool, innovative, different. It's surely not a "workhorse", just "city EDC". It looks very politically correct, non offensive, great discussion starter. You can certainly open it public, office, restaurant etc., which is not always the case with Sebenza, let alone Umnumzaan.
 
I really want to pick one of these up but just wish the price was a little less. I love the size and dont mind the locking mechanism. Im sure it would be plenty strong enough for the type of use I would put it through. And its a great looking blade.
