The Basic advantages of Titanium Mission Knives are:

Corrosion Proof: Mission Knives are corrosion proof in all naturally occuring environments. The Mission MPK Seal knife has been soaking in seawater for over 5 years without a hint of corrosion or rust.

Weight: Mission Knives weight are 40%-50% lighter than steel.

Heat and Cold Stability: Mission Knives are more stable in extreme temperatures and they will not break in subzero weather whereas steel can and will shatter. They will not break, crack, or chip under impact or stress at these various temperatre extremes of hot or cold.

Strength to weight ratio: Mission Knives are superior in its strength to weight ratio compared to all available steels and ceramics

Non-Magnetic: Mission Knives are magnetically inert (Non-Magnetic) and are used by the Navy SEALS, Marine Corps and Air Force EOD Units to defuse magnetically triggered mines and devices.

Flexibility: Mission Knives may be flexed or bowed repeatedly without undergoing rupture. They have 50% of the modulus of steel and will therefore bend at least twice as far as steel before breaking.

Wear and Abrasion Resistance: Mission Knives have 3 times the abrasion resistance of steel, and titanium is also a self healing metal that forms an oxide crystal ceramic skin over itself when scratched. This gives it the ability to resist wear contact with outside materials such as dirt, sand, ice, mud, webbing, rope, etc. and continue to give excellent service when abused.
