The titanium is a design choice as is pointed out in the video. It does provide a balanced and lightweight feel that still has solidity to it. I look forward to trying it out to see if it offers less fatigue due to the lightness.
Part of the allure of leatherwork for me is the vast array of tools, leathers and techniques that are only limited by the imagination. There are some tools that fit better and just feel right... Some leathers would make great belts and terrible wallets... Would a different tool, leather or technique work better? I am sure enjoying the adventure of trying them. ;-)
Enjoy,
