  • Hey cropper, long time fan

    I would like to point out (involved with metal work myself) that pure titanium has a lower rockwell (C) than high carbon steels and therefore titanium actually has worse scratch resistance thus maintains less edge retention. Titanium alloys that get higher than 70+ usually come in the form of a coating (the glock pistol has a coated top that can sharpen knives) but doesn't come in the large enough pieces for plows and would probably be too brittle.

  • "titanium actually has worse scratch resistance thus maintains less edge retention."

    Very interesting. I was clueless.

    What about beryllium plow shares?
