The Smith's Titania II 51010 delivers exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance through its titanium-coated stainless steel blade. This 3.5-inch folding knife combines lightweight construction with tactical reliability for everyday carry and outdoor applications.
What Makes This Different
The titanium coating on the stainless steel blade provides superior wear resistance compared to standard uncoated blades, extending sharpness retention by up to 40%. The drop point blade geometry offers optimal piercing capability while maintaining a strong tip for heavy-duty tasks. Unlike basic folding knives, the Titania II features a precision-machined stainless steel handle that eliminates flex during cutting operations.
