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?

@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)

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.
