Grade 1 is still pretty common for ultralight backpacking items like pots and pans due to its ductility.

Thats cool! I didnt know there were specific common applications where grade 1 would be desirable compared to the stronger alloys available.

IIRC you can buy titanium foil that you can just make stuff out of at home.
