Hello,

Today I received my second titanium framelock, an SG2 JYD blem. Two days ago, I received my first, the equally amazing Sage 2. What is next on the list of must have titanium framelocks? I am expecting a lot Sebenza suggestions, but it is a lot of money. Are there other titanium framelocks that are cheaper that are also must haves?

Thanks,

Matt

The new Spyderco Chinese Lum is soon out in Ti. I've seen them for about 120.
But, I looked at the picture again and it's a liner lock.

the thing about the sebenza (and mnandi and umnumzaan) is that you can find them in the exchange for a lot less than retail. if you're patient you can pick one up for not much more than a lot of the other Ti framelocks on the market. also, the BM nakara isn't a framelock, it has the nak-lock IIRC.

I have one of these. It is manufactured very poorly. I contacted BM several times regarding up and down/left right play and never received a response. Thanks for all of the responses.

Its pretty tough to get an answer out of most production knife companies through email. Give them a call, they will set you up in minutes!

Excluding the Sebenza, I would recommend these three Ti framelocks because not only are they my favorite titanium framelocks that I own, but they're also just about my favorite knives I own period, again besides the Sebenza.

Spyderco Sage 2

Benchmade 635 Mini Skirmish.

If you like a blade size of around 3.3"(which is my absolute favorite) then I think you will really dig these knives.
 
All still in production:

From upper left CW: BM 755 MPR; ZT-301; Boker Haddock; and BM 790 Subrosa. The first three listed are part Ti/part G10 handled - with Ti-framelocks. The ZT-301 & BM 790 are assisted opening. The Boker Haddock is a bit difficult to find - Boker-USA is apparently out.

I have a tiny collection of titanium framed knives with just the 1590GR and Sage 2 being frame lockers. Next up for me is ZT302 and BM Skirmish.
