try rubbing a chicken ball on it.

always works for me.

the colour will also be different to steel or try phils technique as it seems by far the most accurate one

According to wikipedia titanium shavings 'pose a significant fire hazard and when heated in air, an

hazard.' Get the file out and some swan vestas.

Maybe you should wear safety gear, a pair of marigolds and sunglasses should do the trick.

lee 304 308 and 314 stainless steel is also not magnetic, the only real way to tell is weight and colour unless you dont mind grinding or taking back to bear material
