Titanium is very light and strong, but it can't be hardened enough to

titanium is the main element with an inlaid/bonded steel edge would be
awesome.

Does any one know if a titanium sword would be a good weapon?


Another issue is Titanium flexes and moves. It is not a 'hard' metal.
This is one of the reasons it is used in airplane wings - flex with strength.
