Compare the 01EDC Time Knight 3.0 Pro and Time Knight 2.0 on size, weight, materials, and price so you can choose the mechanical slider that fits your carry.
Quick answer
Choose the Time Knight 3.0 Pro if you want a larger, heavier titanium slider with a limited-edition feel; choose the Time Knight 2.0 if you prefer a compact stainless steel or titanium slider at roughly half the price.
Size and weight change how the slider carries
The 3.0 Pro measures 156 x 55 x 26 mm and weighs about 297–299 g, while the 2.0 measures 75 x 45 x 15 mm and weighs 165 g. That is roughly double the length and nearly double the weight, so the 3.0 Pro is a desk or bag piece for most people, while the 2.0 is far easier to pocket and carry daily.
A heavier slider gives more momentum and a different feel in hand, but it also pulls at a pocket and takes up more space. If you have never carried a full-size mechanical slider, the 2.0 is the lower-risk starting point.
Materials and editions: titanium versus stainless steel or titanium
The 3.0 Pro is made of titanium and is a limited edition of 150 per style. The 2.0 is offered in stainless steel or titanium and is also a limited edition, though the catalog does not state a production count. Titanium generally gives a lighter feel for its size, but here the 3.0 Pro is still the heavier piece because of its larger dimensions.
Because both are limited editions, availability can change without notice. If a specific material or style matters to you, check the current options before deciding rather than assuming both will stay in stock.
Price and value trade-off
At catalog prices, the 3.0 Pro is USD 299.98 (compared with USD 599.95) and the 2.0 is USD 174.98 (compared with USD 349.95). The 3.0 Pro costs about USD 125 more, which buys the larger titanium body and the 150-unit limit.
That premium is about size and material, not a guarantee of a better fidget experience. If you mainly want a capable mechanical slider for everyday handling, the 2.0 covers that at a lower entry point.
Key trade-offs to weigh
- Carry size vs. presence: The 3.0 Pro is about 156 mm long and 297–299 g; the 2.0 is 75 mm and 165 g. If pocket space and weight matter, the 2.0 wins; if you want a substantial hand-filling slider for a desk, the 3.0 Pro is the one. Measure your pocket or pouch before choosing the 3.0 Pro.
- Titanium exclusivity vs. material choice: The 3.0 Pro is titanium only and capped at 150 per style. The 2.0 lets you pick stainless steel or titanium. Pick the 3.0 Pro if the titanium build and low production count are the point; pick the 2.0 if you want to choose a material.
- Budget vs. upgrade: The 3.0 Pro is USD 299.98 versus USD 174.98 for the 2.0 at catalog prices. The extra cost buys a larger titanium body and the 150-unit limit, not extra features listed in the catalog. If those do not matter to you, the 2.0 is the more sensible spend. Decide whether the size and limited run are worth about USD 125 to you before upgrading.
