General rule - don't buy anything on infomercials - remember the Ginsu!!!!!

A good titanium knife can be great, if you need the specific qualities of titanium (corrosion resistance, light weight).

I have a folding dive knife with a titanium blade and a molded plastic handle that is really wonderful. It's very light, extremely sharp and needs only a quick fresh water rinse after a dive.

It also cost $75.00 for a 4½" blade.

Oh don't let me get started on the Ginsu. My mom actually bought one of those things. I just wanted to know if titanium affects food adversley. I never buy anything off of infomercials. Not after the "chopper" that doesn't chop a thing.

People are always looking for that perfect knife . The reason I see the most is that a whole bunch of cooks do not know how to sharpen knives . I have a wide assortment of brands of knives ,
all sharp and user friendly , learn to sharpen and care for your knives and your job becomes much easier and safer , dull knives hurt people . Of course thats just my opinion .............

When I saw the title of this thread, I said out loud, "What the **** next??" Then I saw it was you!! Hope you are well.

Never seen a titanium knife. I'd have to handle one before buying. Also would have to know how well they sharpen at home and how long they hold an edge. I assume being titanium they are more durable than ceramic!
