So, there are a few materials out there that work as this claims to, but this isn't it.
* - you never get pure titanium. Everything you've ever handled is already 6AL4V, which i assume is exactly what this is.
* - You can harden beta-ti to some extent, nitinol, or even dendritic cobalt. This is none of those things.

PigmonkeYLots of things are made out of CP titanium. And about a bazillion other Titanium alloys. 6Al4V is common in the knifemaking world, yes. But that's a seriously niche market all things considered.

iwendtFor everything your average person has had hands on, it's been GR5, most likely probably 6AL4V. most other grades of titanium are used in chemical processing, aerospace components and marine equipment, with the exception of GR4 titanium which is probably the only commercially pure titanium you may have had contact with, but only because it's used in things like medical implants.
So, unless you're a chemist, work on jet engines/airframes, or are an engineer on a ship, chances are you've never had contact with most other grades.
