Message	(I'm not knocking the keys at all - they definitely look cool...) Pure titanium is VERY soft and is unsuitable for just about anything that requires any sort of strength (ie keys, connecting rods, anything functional). Titanium alloys - mixtures of Ti and other metals - on the other hand, can be very strong (not as strong as steel, but strong nonetheless) and are used in almost 100% of "Titanium" things - including the original Nissan-produced Ti keys. Again - cool keys - just thought I'd point out that "100% Pure Titanium" is probably not what you want to be saying in your advertisement. Maybe "100% High-Strength Titanium Alloy" or something might be better. ;) Remember: Stoplights timed at 35 mph are also timed at 140 mph
