How does titanium handle denting?
This holds a lot more water than a titanium cup, and it’s captive, so it can’t spill out to release weight when dropped.
Will thin titanium resist denting, or will it crack and split?
I know my stainless steel Kleen Kanteens sustain some pretty knarly dents when dropped full of water. How about thin titanium?

K.T.NThe specs I found online say it's grade 1 titanium, which is very pure titanium that is very food safe and biocompatible. It's also the most ductile grade of titanium, meaning it's much more likely to dent than crack and split (assuming there are no defects). I don't own one but I would expect it to be slightly more dent resistant than stainless steel. If it's anything like my MSR titanium kettle, it will still get a small dent if you drop it on a boulder with water in it. I hope this helps for anyone still looking at the drop.

The amazon page for the water bottle states grade 1 titanium. Are you sure grade 1 would increase the cost that much? It's the cheapest/easiest to work with due to it being the weakest and most ductile.
