Hi Kahlua. Titanium is an element. #22 on the periodic table.

There are several companies making
Titanium kitchen knives and folding knives with Titan as a blade (That I'm aware of).

There are many companies and individuals using Titan as a handle material or a liner material. Often when used as a liner, Titan is also used for the linerlock.

Titanium is stronger than steel when compared by weight, because it is light. However, steel is much stronger than Titanium when compared by volume.
