This is interesting. I questioned the "why is tinanium so expensive" more than once and the only answer was "It's hard to make"

I have a bit of a titanium fetish. 90% of my cutlery and cups in the kitchen are now made of titanium. I especially love the (double-walled) bowls.

I really like touching the material. I like its aesthetic. I find it very strange myself. My first encounter was 15 years ago with the Snow Peak spork that I bought for outdoor activities/camping. Later, I acquired a Snow Peak cup, which I still use every day.
