anyone own one? use one? do these have any rugged utility use or are they precision only? i.e. would you use one on a camping/canoe trip for your non sak folder?
 
Are you referring to the brand "TiKnives", or do you mean a Ti bladed knife?

Can't help you with the first one, but IMO, Ti blades will take a nice edge, and although they lose it fairly quickly, they resharpen pretty easily. I like my Boker Orion as a dress knife, but since it needs a touch up pretty much every time I carry it, I don't know that I'd use it for extended duty.

Okay, Ill throw my 2cents in. I belive that for a canoe/outdoors folder that the sealed bearings in a TiNives folder are too suceptible to grit and crap one might expect to get into the folder in those situations. This wouldnt be such a big deal, however, as they are sealed, its more difficult to get junk out than it is to let it in, making field cleaning (swishing in a pond or stream) completely out of the question. Perhaps you should post this in the Tiknives forum, cuz they know a whole lot more than I do
