After ordering it from TNK, according to the tracking info it was supposed to show up here on Tue, but the FedEx guy just knocked on my door and here is what he brought me 
The knife's finish is superb, I like the flamed Ti a lot, I am glad I went for it. Blade detent and lock up is how I want it, I am very pleased. I ordered the pivot key from MonkeyDepot and when it arrives I will disassemble it and give some light polish to the bushings and pivot area to increase the smoothness. I already decided not to reprofile the edge on this one when it needs sharpening, but rather match the factory angle for the extra strength, just polish it.
I just noticed something different on the stonewashed finish from the I one that I've sold. The flats on this one have a little different finish from the rest of the blade. To be exact, rather than random direction of micro scratches, all the flats have one same direction scratches, that also a little deeper. You can notice it on some of the pictures.
