Titanium - where to get?

[throwingdown]

Not sure if this is the right area for this post.
I want to do some mods to a knife and wanted to replace some g10 with titanuim. Who sells it in smaller sizes or where is a good place to purchase it?

China would be the best place. Have you tried your metal stockholders?

Maybe even ebay?

So what's the main grade of Ti used in the knife industry, is it Commercially pure 1 and 2 just like used in the jewellery trade? Or perhaps 6Al/4V.

I always assumed Ti was used for its excellent corrosion resistance and lightness, and not for its hardness and wear resistance.

6AL/4V is usually the standard.and its used for ALL the reasons you stated
