    Thumbs up Titanium goodness

    It's strong and lightweight which are both great attributes. Thought I'd post a couple of photos of some of my higher end blades where titanium is used for the frame. I've got quite a few that use Ti for one half of the frame but these three are completely titanium. The main benefit is weight savings. Not a huge savings but I guess under certain circumstances every little bit helps. The "snail trails" are one of the downsides of titanium but these are blades I carry and use on a regular basis so it comes with the territory, so to speak.

    My laptop isn't showing "snail trails". I assume there must be some slightly glossy scratch marks where the dull finish has been burnished up to shiny a bit. Nice looking knives btw.

    Thank you. Yes, "snail trails" are the rub marks that show up on the surface of the Ti.
