I would prefer a Titanium build rather than Steel for something like this!!!

AWARWhy would you want titanium? Titanium is softer and steel and would deform much more easily than steel would for prying tasks

AWARThis is a joke right? Most titanium isn't even heat treatable, just by that property that makes it much softer than steel as almost all steels can be heat treated. Even the few grades of titanium which can be heat treated such as Grade 5 can't even reach close to the hardness that steel can reach. I suggest you do some reading and research on basic metallurgy before you post something that is completely false. Also there's a reason almost all knives made of titanium are carbidized while steel knives aren't, it's because titanium is much softer than steel and therefore can't hold an edge, so it needs the ultra hard tungsten on the edge to even properly function as a knife

fluid_motionSteel has Carbon added to the Iron to create Steel this adds flexibilty as well as lightness to make the Iron less brittle. Steal is not a natural metal so Steel is Carbondised or it would not exist!
