Hm, I would think that titanium, as a softer metal (by volume) would loose it's edge rather quickly. To clarify what I mean by volume, titanium is 40% stronger than steel by weight, but is less strong than steel by volume. This is caused because titanium is much lighter than steel, and thus acquires it's reputation as a stronger metal, even though it is weaker, in these sense that with two equally sized bars one of titanium, and one of steel, the titanium bar will bend easier, but be lighter.
So I guess if you don't need a super-sharp knife this would be a good option, and I might buy it because how often do you need a razor-sharp blade?

VexsFor the price I would only consider a steel blade. 50$ for a knife that needs lots of sharpening , ill pass!

VexsYup, I wrote that in the poll. Good steel blade has hardness of 58-60. This one is only 50 (and this is probably already hardest Ti alloy - Al6V4, pure Ti is even softer). So you can slice this knife with a hard steel blade :)
