Glen,

I looked at the Sturkey line of premium blades a while back, and I tried the 
"gold" version.  The gold color is a titanium nitride coating.  I don't think 
anyone makes a blade out of solid titanium.

Sturkey now also has a blade with a diamond coating.  I haven't tried it yet, 
but I'd think the diamond coated blade would also do the trick for you.

you can go to their website here, then click on the link for the "Extremus" 
knives for more info.
