65 rockwell titanium knives?

The neat thing about both materials is that the edge rolls instead of chipping when striking a hard object. When that happens, you put a round bar in a vise and pull the deformity back into line (edge trailing). Resharpen and the blade is as good as new.

That can't be beta Ti for that cheap. That stuff is expensive.

I have a knife from mission knives and I attest to the quality of their beta-titanium

I've read U.S. military studies dating back to the 1970s showing beta titanium alloys hardened to Rc 60+ but they were rather brittle at that hardness, being used for face-plates on ballistic armor for vehicles. So it is possible, but unfortunately the website gives absolutely NO meaningful information about those knives at all, and as far as having specially-formulated beta titanium alloy, that is almost assuredly a complete load of fly-blown bull-crap.

This is what I was thinking.....would be too "chippy" to be useful.
