I'm a collector and user of knives, but I have a limited budget. And I don't want to just get any old knife. What I'd really like is a knife with the following features:

3"-4" S30V Blade (drop or clip point, not tanto)
Titanium liners (or handlescales)
Weight- less than 6.5oz

Its got to be a knife I can carry without scaring the sheeple.

Knives I've considered are:
Benchmade 635 Mini-Skirmish
Camillus Dominator
Bradley Alias

Do you know any others? Is there some other major brand/model I should consider? What do you think?

Thanks!:)
 
I must admit that the Mini-Skirmish looks like an awesome knife for the price. Great styling. Awesome lock. Good steel. There's not much to dislike about it.
 
How about a CRK Mnandi? That is a great knife, and it is tough. Or a small Sebenza? Great knives!
 
As far as quality, I can vouch for both the Dominator and the Mini Skirmish.

IMO the Dominator is a fantastic knife and I'm glad I bought one when I did, they're pretty hard to find now. But as far as sheeple friendly ... the blade sounds like a bolt action rifle when it opens ( I'm exaggerating) , but there's a manual version floating around....

I bought the limited edition gold Mnii Skirmish on sale right after the holidays. I wanted another Ti framelock and the price was right. The styling was a little over the top for my taste, but has since grown on me.

As far as fit and finish it's exactly what you'd expect from BM, my knife is perfect.

I've heard good things about the Buck Mayo TNT, also a Ti Framelock.
 
The Buck Mayo in S30V is a fine frame lock folder.

Kershaw Ti Bump (wow I've been recommending this knife a lot). It's got a recurve blade, but it is a very useful shape. The tip of the blade is like a wharncliff (straight), but the second half of the blade is curved.

3.5" Polished S30V blade
Titanium Handle with Framelock
SpeedSafe Opening
Street Price ~$150

The Blue and Green are very Sheeple Friendly; ALL are great knives!

Wow everyone- thanks! I can't believe I didn't think of or find those knives- CRK, Kershaw, and the TNT!

Anyone have anything else I missed?
