I'm considering starting a collection containing all versions of the Ti-Lock. I believe that the initial version had a bead blasted handle and stone-washed blade. I have one with a stone-washed handle and polished stone-washed blade. It also has a born on date of Sept 2011.

Has there been one released since Sept 2011 that is different from mine i.e. different finishes on blade or handle?
 
I held a prototype at the 2010 Bladeshow that had a satin or polished handle . The bead blasted and stonewashed versions are the only others I'm aware of.

Yes, only two versions that I am aware of. When I got mine, I thought they were all blasted finish, when mine arrived stonewashed, I emailed CRK. They said the first 50-75 were blasted. After that, the rest are all stonewashed. So that makes the blasted rarer. As far as I know though, the blades were all the same, it was just the handle finish that was different.
 
Sketch is right. There are three versions in total. The prototype version with satin handle and a couple of other minor differences compared to the production version, the original production version with BB handle, and the current version.

Personally I like the current version the best. I think it's elegant and practical, but I certainly wouldn't mind building a Ti-Lock collection if I have the budget.

Starting a Ti Lock collection would be pretty cool. Post the pics when you get all three!
 
Thank you all for your kind assistance. The quest for the elusive prototypes and bead blast begins.
