What Do I Want Next?

[jday2727]

Hey everyone, I am looking to add a new knife to my collection. Here is what I like:
-Flippers
-The weight of my Manix 2lw
-Axis, Ball Bearing, and Frame locks
-Size and materials of my ZT350
-Titanium
-Unique
-Under $150
-Robust tip
-3.3" or smaller
Suggestions? Doesn't have to follow all of these, just similar.
I know this sounds like a PM2, but I don't think I want one of those yet. Any other options?

There are some conflicting requirement here TBH:
1. If you want titanium framelock(or titanium liner/handle) on a knife that's close to ZT0350's size, there is no way it can be as light as a Manix2 LW(about 3oz). Ti framelock is kinda out of the question for this weight/size combo.
2. If you want flipper, ball bearing lock is out of the question.
3. If you want robust tip, then the blade either needs to have thick stock(>=3.5mm) or with saber grind, like the one on ZT/Emerson/Benchmade. IMO PM2 doesnt really fit the requirement, as it has one of the most delicate tip.

For your stat, i would say the closest is the new G-10 Griptillian(or Mini), except that it's more expensive than $150, no flipper, no titanium and is slightly heavier than Manix2 LW.

If you want something very close to your ZT0350, here is a couple of suggestions:

Kizer has some pretty nice flippers for a good price considering the materials they use, my wife bought me a kizer ki4461a1 , and I love it's a titanium frame lock with an s35vn blade steel, and it is one smooth piece of cutlery. Don't let the made in China thing scare ya its a quality knife oh yeah it was $155

You are going to have a tough time finding something with the weight of the Manix LW with any of those other criteria. What came to mind initially was a spyderco Southard. Unfortunately, they are over your budget, but they pop up on the exchange close to your price
