I found these black ones a couple of years ago...
Quite bit more stretchy (which results in less clamping force) than the steel rodded ones, but does work well enough for bikes with vertical rear dropouts...
head and nut seems to be made of anodized aluminum (non magnetic). Only thing steel/magnetic on them are the short metal cylinders that the Ti rods screw into, the skewer levers, springs and the small lever retaining nuts.
