Recommend an In-Betweener?

I'm looking for a solid, well made folder. Something in between a Small and a Large Sebenza. Or between a 3" and 3.5" XM-18.

I know those are big shoes to fill. Titanium Frame Lock, Premium Steel. Solid. Prefer US Made as well. (My thing, I know)

For now I'd like to avoid Benchmade and Spyderco. No knock on them as I have owned both and they each are fine, I'm just looking for something new.

Look around on some of the more popular knife sites and find stuff that meets your criteria and then narrow it down from the one you like and can afford.

Grayman Dua.

Olamic wayfarer?

Those olamic wafarer's are sweet blues Bender.

 

[Lost Cosmonaut]

Olamic Wayfarer is awesome but not between 3" and 3.5"!

Grayman Dua or TAD Dauntless would be my suggestion.

 

[whitty]

ZT 0550 or ZT 0801!

I can't think of anything that fits this range more perfectly than the ZT0566 -- USA Made, 3.25" blade, ELMAX Steel, titanium Frame lock and you can choose between G-10 and CF scale.

I know you said you wanted to stay away from benchmade, but I have a 943 for sale for a good price. LMK.

Take a look in the knife makers forum. I'm sure you could find something nice, and not like your other knives.

Various ZT's, Grayman Dua, Three Sisters Forge Beast, Joe Hoover custom.

Olamic wayfarer?

*jaw drops*...beautiful!
WARNING: I don't own knives in this price range so I'm taking a shot in the dark....it may not be a frame lock but....meh meets other requirements...

 

[Lost Cosmonaut]

Wayfarer is next on my list, but it is a 4" blade.

After that I'm definitely getting a Todd Begg Bodega, which would fit your criteria.
