Titanium Rod Uses

[Dennis Paish]

Greetings,
I have a lot (hundreds of feet) of 1/8" and 1/16" Titanium Rods. My first impression was to use them as pins in full tang knives. Not recommended!

Any thoughts where Titanium Rods may be of use in knife making?

Make your own screws?

Trade them to a Ti worker for something you want, Steel, handle material etc

Why wouldn’t you recommend using them as pins?

I use 1/8 Ti pin stock quite often with no issues. It gives a different, almost "softer" look than steel.

What grade Titanium is it? It could be used to pin titanium bolsters of the same grade, if you so choose.

They dont have to be the same grade. I weld grade 1,2 and 5 together alot
