Titanium sucks for knives. Don't buy this unless you are just into gimmicky titanium shit. It's not hard enough to make a good blade. If you're into the weight savings of ~20g over a similarlly sized steel knife, I might suggest taking a piss before you start your hike or bringing 20ml less water with you. In exchange for this, you'll get a more durable tool that will last longer than you will and will take far less work to maintain.
Possible exceptions: * You really like shooting fire at titanium and making it turn pretty colors * You're a saltwater diver and want something that will not corrode. Even in this case, there are highly corrosion resistant steels (H1 is a good one that is used in a lot of spyderco knives). I would still recommend a steel knife. Maybe one with a larger handle. This might be too small to easily use underwater in an emergency.
