This is the Valtcan titanium hip flask, and as the name suggests, it’s a hip flask made from titanium.
Titanium is an ideal material for this application as it doesn’t react with the alcohol, it’s lightweight, and it’s very strong.
The main reason metals like copper, stainless steel, or pewter are often used is a combination of tradition and cost effectiveness – titanium is a very expensive material to produce and work with after all.
This flask can contain up to 260 ml or 8.8 fl oz of your favorite tipple, and when empty it weighs just 144 grams or 3.8 oz.
