Titanium vs aluminum — which for EDC?
Aluminum is lighter and cheaper and, when anodized, plenty durable for pens, lights, and wallets. Titanium is stronger for its weight, more corrosion-resistant, and warmer to the touch in cold, at a price and mass premium. For a daily light or pen, quality aluminum is a smart-money pick; titanium is the upgrade you buy for feel and longevity.
