@KiloSierraAlpha Sir there are in fact I'm gona do a series on Warren Thomas knives to explain the benefits I think most people miss. Ti is used for diving knives. Plain aircraft (al4vTi) is not good for edge retention. Warren Thomas comes up with a way to fix this completely. Duane Dwyer had a part in the creation of NiTinol which is a super Titanium that can hold an edge that in my USN footage he says they may make production of these OMG (this is gona change the knife world if they do)
@backpackinonline hmmm interesting my knives lockbars are ti & theyre always being forced to flex... Why then do them make prybars out of TI? what you think?
As for the folding spork, when you push the little metal bar on the handle towards the tip, it keeps the handle from folding. It won't hold for heavy tasks though. But hey, it's a spork. ;-)
Just want to put this out here for you to read NeptuneKnives: There is a free editing software called Windows Movie Maker that most computers come with. That way the watermark may not be there. That or you could try Avid FreeDV. Those are two good video editing software for a great free price! :D
I've heard from some guys that Ti is not that difficult to work with, that kept me wondering if it is easy to work with how can it be that strong! Really great vid, very clarifying !
aahhh the enlan el01. i was playing with mine all day. fun knife. such a thick ass liner. you should have joben wave mod one for you or get out a dremel and do it yourself. cuz its holding up so well to the all day waving. but my pants arent. lol. hey whens your contest ending? have those guys gotten there subs yet? i might have to do more shoutouts for them. many more!!
@PavlovSandor I talked to Halfmoon67 & he's basically at his goal but peitertmore needs more subs still & halfmoon67 told me to wait till pete's there so yeah shoutout to pete if ya can so this contest can be over!
repeated flex causes titanium to fail.
I have experience of that, and metallurgy and materials science to back it up,
but go ahead. I hope you are not injured.

Why aren't blades made out of Ti?

Pry bar? No. Repeated flexing? No.
The flex is not good, because titanium parts repeatedly flexed FAIL. It doesn't fracture, it tears.
I would not have titanium anywhere if it breaks I would get injured.
My experience? Titanium derailleur FAIL.
I like my Sea to Summit titanium spork.
My backpacking cookset includes Vargo Titanium 750 ml Sierra Cup.
I like the fact it will never rust, from the cooking fire or left out wet.

Great information about Ti. I honestly thought it was a pretty strong material. Guess i was wrong! Thanks for the vid.

I like Ti, not the most durable material for blade, but it is light and rust proof. Just what I need for defensive knives.
