>>666048So can Iron and Steel.
I'm not saying that tiranium is complete shit. I'm just saying that steel has been the mainstay for hundreds of years, and in this day and age, can be fine-tuned to just about any task.
So I guess what i'm trying to say is, you know what you're getting with steel. Titanium may have different strengths and weaknesses, some of which (i.e. Brittleness in certain situations/forms) may be undesirable for a tool meant for innawoods-ing.
Is it garbage? No. Is steel better? IMHO, yes.
>>666055Mah nigga. I'm looking to get my hands on some 1095 and 1075, forge a knife or two out of each, and test them to see how I like working the steel and how they perform.
Which reminds me. OP, do research, and see if they state the Rockwell Hardness of the blade, see if the whole thing is titanium or if the knife has a totanium inlay, etc. compile all of the little tidbits and go from there.
>>666046My having a hard on for steel aside, that's fucking cool. I haven't heard much on how titanium has advanced to meet the needs of the end user, and that's a cool tidbit of information.
