Titanium Lum Chinese?

Anyone have one? How do you like it?
Question:
Are they built as the alumium ones? That is, inlayed liner. How is the finish?

LOVE LOVE LOVE my Ti Lum Chinese. It was my EDC until I got my Barong. I still love it though and wear it on 'dressier' occasions. It was a groomsmen's present. And yes, we used them to eat at the dinner. Was hilarious.

The finish is satin, almost but not quite a brushed aluminum look. Contrasts nicely with the steel of the blade. Yes, it has an inlayed liner.

I wouldn't consider this a hard use knife though.

Good, thanks for the info.
I like the aluminum ones, so this sounds great.

I completely understand the decision to make the ti version like all other Lum Chinese Folders, but man how awesome would the knife be with an integral liner lock. It would require new tooling making for a more expensive knife, but I love the elegance of using as few parts as possible. And the added functional feature of keeping the lock better engaged when you grip the handle harder. Still, I'm very happy with my Ti Lum Chinese Folder - one downside is the weight, it's noticeably heavier than the other Chinese Folders in my collection. Nothing dramatice, but the Ti Chinese Folder is definitely a heftier knife than the Alu version.

Blonde, I would go :eek: if they did a Lum Chinese framelock. A more robust but elegant looking Chinese would fit me perfectly. There is just something about this knife that I like a lot, can't put my finger on it. I carry the regular VG10, the ZDP, and the Large a lot. :D Bring it on.
