Recommendation? Titanium frame Lock, other than CRK

as far as the hinderers go, I found the three I own on E-BAY in new condition and up to date, if your still looking! also keep watching for sale forum on hear as I see hinderers go up for sale.
 
Maybe if I explain my preferences a bit more it'll help you all...
I love the blade shape and thickness of my sebenza. the handle shape leaves a lot to be desired, but it is comfortable. My ZT0562CF fits my hand well and the edges are finished nice, but the blade to me is too thick and heavy.
I love titanium as a whole and want straight titanium. I've been looking at a plain sebenza 31 with damascus blade waiting for them to get in stock... but was curious for the price point what else is out there. I know the hinderer is similar to my 0562 but i'm curious by how much. I own ZT, CRK, Benchmade, Spyderco, ETC and would like to try a different company. Strider doesn't interest me. I don't need a knife that will pry the hinges off of a tank, but i'd like something i can use (not abuse) for general tasks like the seb 31. Cutting boxes, picking splinters, field dressing/cleaning fish, stripping copper wire. The 31 is as close to perfect as i could find so i'm curious what else is similar of similar build.

GB1 / GB2 and Southard.
 
One of my favorite edc's is a Spyderco Military titanium framelock. With a left hand version in said pocket.

I'd post pics, but alas this site seems to require a hosting site, and I don't do that. Every site I'm a member of allows posting to pics in your computers folders, except this one. Sad.

I own the TI/CF model and yes, one of my all time favorites!
 
I also have an ancient Benchmade Skirmish, Cutlery Shoppe limited edition raw titanium (#35 of 250 produced). And a Kershaw Junk Yard Dog titanium. And a Camillus Cuda Maxx 5.5 D2 titanium. And a very old Mission MPF all titanium knife. All these have been carried very seldom and never been resharpened. Have a friend that sells Benchmade knives at his store, Top Tier Tactical. He told me to bring these in, they are worth big bucks. He says he may want to purchase them after looking them over.

Spyderco Military is a good knife. I have a fluted titanium model with a CTS 204P blade swap. Also pictured is one of my Les George Talos.

Incidentally, this picture came from my computer:

Picture attaching seems no different than the other forums running Xenforo and the like.

Why not just order direct from CRK? A year goes by pretty fast. I ordered a small pj31 in August of 2020 and got it in September of this year. I sold the small 21 I'd bought in the meantime because I personally like the 31 more. It's not like they ask for money up front, and they contact you right before it goes into production in case you find something between ordering and completion. That way if you want a specific feature in addition to the damascus blade like double lugs or a specific color anodizing on your hardware you can be GUARANTEED to get exactly the knife you want without any frustration. I see how quickly some of those sell out, and I'll reiterate that the time goes by pretty quickly. Just my opinion of course, but it might be pertinent.

Edited to add: small in the proper places
 
Hands down a Spartan Harsey Folder. Love my 21’s, and this thing once broken in has a better smooth hydraulic action then a 21 in my opinion. You can get into a plain Jane one for your price range if you can find one. I love mine.
