I was wondering what was out there that compared to a small sebenza 21. Not necessarily quality wise but in function. A titanium frame lock around 3" with a similar "gentlmen's quality", like the sebenza. I did a search but I haven't found what I am looking for.

1. No A/O
2. Titanum Frame Lock
3. Dressy or "gentlemanly"

Thanks for the help!
 
+1 on Sage II. Spyderco also has two 2 1/2" framelocks, The Leafstorm and the Techno which is coming out this year.

I'd say you aren't going to find much better than the alias 2 or sage 2 in terms of a sebenza alternative. The alias 2 is more in line with the sebenza's style but the sage is arguably a better performer. I have a sage 2 and absolutely love it. Between the alias 2 and sage 2 it really comes down to spyderco (sage 2) vs benchmade (benchmade makes the alias knives for Bradley)
 
You'd have to buy it pre-owned, but the Benchmade Mini-Skirmish 635 would fit into this category. It's a very, very nice knife.
 
benchmade 755 but it's a bit "brick-ish" It uses m390 and has a ti framelock on one side that is partially hidden by green G10 (Also acts as a lockbar stabilizer) and green G10 on the non-locking side.
 
Another vote for the wonderful Spyderco Sage 2 or if you're willing to go a bit bigger the A.G. Russell Acies.
