Is this a current list of the ti/g10 models?
Military m4
Chokwe

Coming soon
Lionspy
Tuff

If there's any I'm missing please add to it. The ti/g10 m4 mili is by far my favorte knife because of the combo....I have an all titanium s30v mili and it just doesn't call to me like the m4 model. Its not the steel either(yes m4 is awesome). Makes me want to scoop up any model that comes in this combo!!

Sal says when they put them on their machines that the frame locks will break every time compared to the compression locks, and it makes sense to me. The weak spot in frame locks is the cutout where they thin the lock bar so it will bend. In a compression lock the lock bar is withstanding the force across its width instead of length, and the force is transferred to the frame through the stop pin. For a compression lock to fail the lock bar would either have to crumple or the stop pin would have to be ripped out of the frame. Doing either would take a LOT of force.
 
The locks work in very different ways. The compression lock as made by Spyderco will outperform any comparable size framelock, including the Sebenzas and the titanium Military.

I think that Sal also said that the Ti millies were engineered to be as strong as the liner lock millies. As mentioned previously, the design of the comp lock allows it to be really strong. You'd have to destroy the handles to make it fail.
