Favorite budget titanium frame locks?

If you can go above your budget a teeny bit... The Reconnaissance Adzin is an incredible knife. Made by Reate, perfection action, incredible F&F. It's basically a Chinese Shirogorov, and they can sometimes be seen used (here or maybe out in the bay), for around $200. It's genuinely one of the best mid-size folders I've ever gotten my mitts on and will remain on the keepers list for the foreseeable future.

I should also mention Kunwu's framelock offerings, which can be seen here on the exchange for sub $150. (I sold an OG Tao for $125 a while back) Their models are all incredibly high quality, and while my first recommendation would be the Django, it's a crossbar lock, unfortunately.
 
So now one more company is doing a budget-priced titanium frame lock in 14C28N. Vosteed just released this Mini Labrador for $69.

It looks good but hard to say without getting one in hand. So with this thread enabling me, I ordered one. 😜

I'll let y'all know after I get it.
