Wow!  I saw a picture of one if the skeletonized Ti compacts on Facebook and shot Robert an email last week.  Now, this weekend I found this thread, and just got through the whole thing.  Its a bit funny, I think in the last 72 hours I've gone through at least three different models and at least a dozen different tool configurations as my preference, as he went from Alox 93mm to primarily Ti 91mm and all the new ideas and models he came up with over the last 6 years.

Now I'm not even sure WHAT I would want exactly.  Guess I need to rotate my current stock and see what makes the cut (and what I'm missing).

Ya its been an adventure for sure.  I started with alox since there was such a demand for scissors on alox back then.  Once Vic got around to adding scissors I moved on to Ti 91s which has worked out marvelously.  Ti trumps alox in every way except for number of colors, but the durability is a big win.
