Need a new knife! Help?

[Heartland_edc]

Needing a new folder. Dead set on a full ti framelock. Have $500 to spend. I don't want a Kiser (Kizer?) Reate, or Sebenza (maybe an Umnumzaan) Nice knives, just not for me. Ive been looking at the Les George Talos frag, VECP v3 frag, XM 18 3.5 (this was my first choice but the textured ti scale would push the total price to $625) and the Umnumzaan. I like the idea of having texture in the ti scales. I also DEFINITELY want a lockbar stabilizer. I like the 3.4 - 3.6 blade length range, and the sort of "minimalist" look. No crazy grinds or anything like that. Just plain stonewashed ti and blade. No DLC blades. Any other good ti framelock folders I should be looking at? Any info/opinion would be much appreciated

The Chaves Redención is a really well made Titanium framelock. I don't have one, but I have had one in hand and it is really nice.

Take a look at the Spyderco Slysze Bowie. Very nice knife for EDC applications. Articulated ti scales, great blade steel, and a joy to use.

i like my Mini Bodega. a little smaller than spec at 3" but it definitely does the job and ticks the other boxes.

Three sisters forge Beast = 3"

Have you considered the Grimsmo Norseman?

You find me one for under 500$ and you will be my hero, at least for the day.
I will flip it and get a shirogorov.
