Take a look at the Twosun TS329 Vandal. Titanium handles (not contoured but heavily beveled and textured) with carbon fiber inserts, stonewashed M390 blade, 3d machined pocket clip with ball detent, and multi row ball bearings. It's easily one of the best knives Twosun has made. I use the fuller to slow roll it open with my thumb or quick open with a middle finger reverse flick. The handle is comfortable since it's pretty thick, but it carries well because it's slim heightwise and heavily milled out on the inside. Their US dealer is out of stock at just under $200 but you can bid on one of the dwin ebay auctions and usually get it for a little over $100.

That's a nice looking knife

Yeah they really hit the mark with this one, Twosun can be hit or miss because they don't really prototype, but when they make a good design it ends up feeling like knives that cost about 3x as much as the auction going rate. This one was a collab between a Ukrainian designer and an American knife review channel, so it's also more western in design sensibilities than most of their other knives.

Civivi Conspirator if your ok with a fuller, easy to reverse flick

What are your recommendations for a high quality button lock and reverse flickable thumb slot knife, preferably with contoured handles? I don't see this combination a lot. I know Demko is the obvious choice, and Freeman does these too, but what else you got?

The bottom one, WE Exciton; high quality, check, button lock, check, reverse flick thumb slot, check, contoured handles, um maybe.

I was surprised no one mentioned the Exciton. I like the blade shape but the handle is a bit too busy for my taste. I went with an AD-20 in Magnacut instead.
