I think there are many interested. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Though I don't know of any Ti Endura being made so far, there was a Ti Delica (with an ATS-34 blade) manufactured some time ago...

I think the op is looking for a titanium bladed endura / delica. I don't know of any of those being made ever. I think both were produced in small runs with titanium handles. Please inform me if this is incorrect.

As for Ti Delicas , I think they are but very hard to get even in Japan.

15300 Yen = $145.054 +/-
I'd love to have one, but there are too many ahead of it for less money......

Why wuld someone want a Ti blade in the first place? Though corrosion resistant, it's far too soft compared to steel. Why not try a cobalt based one instead (like Talonite or Stellite)?

I think the blades on the Ti-Delica / Enduras were titanium coated. Both had FRN handles. Have you guys seen the older TiNi Delica? I traded for one and it's in G2 with the FRN clip. I'm not really sure how to tell the difference between the TiNi and the old Black Blade model. This knife came in a black box with the C11SAF code.

Hi 3knife. Assuming you want an actual titanium blade rather than a Ti coating, my question would be the same as Dialex.

What property or behavior would you hope to achieve from a Titan blade?

Here's a more accurate description of the older Delicas and Enduras that I found on Blade Forums:

#C10SAF Titanium Nitride coated Delica G-2
#C11SAF Titanium Nitride coated Endura G-2

The newer versions that sold in Japan were ATS-55 I think.

My Ti Delica is handles are aTI and Blade is ATS34 steel in Plain Edge.

Ti Coated Blades are the old Black blades G2 which I still have in good condition.

Titanium bladed knives(not black-ti coated)are lightweight and very rust resistant. The non-magnetic nature of ti make it a favorite of bomb technicians. The ti is fairly soft and most makers apply a carbide edge for edge holding. Benchmade made the popular Emerson CQC7 970ST with a titanium blade years ago and I have a Warren Thomas Frequent Flyer tactical frame locker in all titanium. It even has spydie holes! Picture attached,
Now there's a nice collaboration for you Sal!
