New Alloy Stronger Than Fe And Ti [Slashdot]

Use this to cast knives for military and police officers, EMTs, and civilians. Incredibly sharp, and with a long lasting blade. Low heat tolerance (~750 deg F) keeps this out of the range of firefighters.

Since the material can be cast like a plastic, use it as a replacement for plastic where durability will outweigh the cost of replacing the part over the lifetime of the item it is used in.

Cost is the other issue, this is not cheap at $10-15 USD/lb.
