Titanium Handle Folders.

How come nobody mentions Bradley Alias? It's no Sebenza, but it's a good titanium folder in its own right, at least comparable to other production titanium-handled folders.
 
Here's a really rare one, yet probably excellent.
G. Sakai "Ti-ara" series with pure titanium handle or with rayskin inlay in the ti handle. Clip point or tanto blades. Always back lock.
Nice looking, elegant stuff, if you ask me:

The William Henry B-15 offered a Ti handle with a button lock. Benchmade offered 940's and 943's in Ti with an Axis lock. The Camillus CUDA MAXX and MADD MAXX are Ti handled frame locks.
 
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned the Kershaw Ti Spec Bump. Ken Onion design, ~8" OAL, 3.5" S30V blade, blue or green anodized Ti handles with gold anodized highlights. Made back around 2003. Very underrated knife IMHO.

The best part is that these can be had in the exchange for around $120 - $150 or so when they show up. That's a pretty good deal for these knives (which I think were a limited edition), as they are a pretty substantial piece. :D

Works of art!
Ti-front locks are one of my favorites. Especially if smooth opening.
 
TO STAINZ:
I didn't auto it myself, I bought it like that.
I was looking for an auto traditional buck 110 but ran into this first. I knew nothing of the regular 560 probs, i just thought it would be cooler since its ti and discontinued.
Mine has NO probs whatsoever and is very smooth. whoever did it must have taken care of the problems of the regular 560.

You should check out the BM Nagara. Actually a very nice knife with Titanium handles. Quite a nice price as well. Check it out HERE!

I actually plan to pick up that nargara soon, I'm a Harely fan too so the HD logo doesn't bother me, still a nice little edc.

Both collect + Use, I always carry what I buy, Unless of course it's something maybe over $500 USd, then I'd probly not use it and just look at it.
 
Mine are as follows.

CRKT 2 Large ( one semi-serrated and 1 small S2 )
Large and small Viele Wasps
Benchmade LFti and Siebert
Kershaw JYDII
AGRussel Italian tactical and 3.0 Gents lockback
A few Emersons with Ti liners , if those count.

confederate is right the CRKT S2 is a sweeeeet knife for the price , nice chunky ti with an oddly shaped yet very useful and pointy ATS34 blade.

I'm a big fan of the looks of the AG Russell Italian Tac, the price on it for the materials as of right now is only 100, damn good deal.
