Help identifying a modern Boker lockback

[knifeaholic]

I just picked this up, seems like it has no model #, but the steel type I assume is the CPM-T-440V?

Wondering about the model number, age, and is there anything special about this knife - is the frame titanium?

It is about 4-1/2" long closed.

Surprised the hardness is not higher on 440 V. I thought all those hi-tech steels were closer to RC 60.
