another item from some home shopping tv show. for those in Australia.... think

I would think they might be too hard to sharpen at home.

Steve has it right. Hi Steve. Boker does make some
Ti knives that work OK. They aren't Ti but rather a Ti alloy with carbides.
An interesting experiment but no advantage over stainelss steel unless, of
course, your in the explosive ordnance disposal business and need non
magnetic knives. Basically, titanium is a pretty poor knife blade material
but a great marketing tool.
