Which titanium alloy used for Prybaby?

Carlos · May 3, 2005

I was going to ask in the active thread in the General Forum, but there seems to be a bit of a semantics argument over there now.

Anyway, what is the alloy or grade of titanium used for the Ti Prybaby?

Also, if Peter is answering, have you experimented with other finishes like Titanium Nitride and Titanium CarboNitride?

I'm already pretty much set on an S30V model, but I'm always curious to know more of course.

Carlos, I am using 6AL4V. This is the most common alloy used in custom knives. I've been trying to get my buddy John Moore to ask his dad for a piece of the beta stuff but haven't gotten any yet. John's dad owns Mission Knives.

Thanks. You might want to mention that on your website.
