Is there a version of the Ti Lite which has all of the following features: 4 inch, bright/polished blade (not bead blasted or black), with aluminum handles instead of Zytel?

Thanks for all input.
 
Alternately, I have an old Ti-Lite with a polished blade and titanium handles. I think the steel is AUS8, definitely not the new Carpenter stuff, but it meets the metal handle/blade polish criteria. They come up for sale on the exchange from time to time.
 
And there was one year where it was titanium with VG-1...those go for a bit more than the ones with AUS8. Nice thing is that it actually says VG-1 on the blade, so you don't have to worry about which one it is.
 
The older Japanese versions had polished blades and Titanium Handles as mentioned, AUS8 except for one year 2007 VG-1 was used. They are knida pricey though, I just sold a like new AUS8 for $145.00. The titanium and Japanese quality is an awesome combination.

Wish those were more readily available.
