Titanium blade?

I recieved some titanium the other day. They were some drop
pieces, 1/8" thick by 1" wide by 12" long, as well as a few thinner
pieces and even more on the way. It is labeled as grade 2 titanium.
Will this in any way make a decent knife blade?

Thanks for any replies,
Jeff

it'll make a letter opener =edge retension isn't so great but the abrasion resistance is good.
Makes better tongs
