[TheForge] titanium

[Hochewa at aol.com]

To All,
CP (commercially pure) titanium does not harden except through cold work.  
Just clean off the oxide after forging and use a sharp edge on the flint.  It 
takes a lot more effort than does steel but the spark is awesome.

Do you use the Titanium striker "as forged"?  Do you quench in water like HC
steel or do any heat treatment?
