I went to the dentist today and was admiring the extremely small dental drill bits. These are very very small and pretty strong.He said they are Titanium. Teeth are really hard and they have to be some strong bits to drill a tooth. So do any of you guys use Titanium heads? how are they to sharpen and are they durable?

I was thinking maybe a blade of titanium and a Ferrule of steel.

I have used the titaniums that steel force made. They are great heads. Wish I wouldn't have sold them.

Titanium is light, and-if I understand right-very expensive in relation to steel. Of course, many of today's broadheads are simply incredibly expensive anyway!  I am a professional sharpener and many of today's fine hair styling scissors are titanium coated.   Based on sharpening those, I don't believe it is exceptionally hard, nor do the manufacturers make any specific hardness claim for it(like a Rockwell hardness rating.)  Someone may correct me with a relative hardness here, but the stuff grinds away surprisingly easy with a simple honing process.  

Personally, I would not be too interested in titanium as a broadhead material.  Now, there are other materials that add resiliency, edge retention, and toughness to fine steels and those might actually mean more in the manufacturing of a broadhead.  But, while they are common in high end scissor manufacturing, I have yet to hear of cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten, or vanadium being added to the steel used in broadheads.  Not pretending that I know they would make a better broadhead, but they are alloyed in the finest steels for truly expensive scissors.

Titanium is very soft and won't hold an edge.  You have to carbidize the back side of a single bevel edge on knives ( edc ) to get any cutting ability.
