These are all from the last few weeks. I have about 8 more in various stages of completion as well as these, it has been a busy month!

Titanium! The ones with the choil are my "Titanium Backpacker" model and the others with the Santoku style need a name.

Great looking, clean and functional tools. I particularly like the backpacker.
 
when its a carbide edge like that, it almost resharpens itself...its really cool. But I dont know what happen when the carbide runs out...maybe it can be re-carbided (if thats even a word :D)

How well does the Ti hold an edge?

Not well on it's own but with 70-80 Rockwell carbide applied it will hold an edge pretty well.

I apply plenty of carbide so you would have to sharpen it down to an icepick to go past the carbide. It is part of the Titanium itself as well as an outer layer and is very wear resistant at 70-80 Rc.

But yes, it could be recarbidized easily. If one of my knives was to ever need recarbidization I would do it for free but I couldn't imagine one ever needing more carbide applied later.

Thanks!
 
big fan of the "legal EDC" model right after the glow handled ones. that's one sweet looking tip, that means buisness!
 
I cant wait...Im thinking that Ti hiker with a horizontal sheath right next to the belt buckle will see plenty of use...that's the best place for me to carry a small fixed blade, easily accessed and out of sight of nervous nellies in public :D
