Ti forks can be made plenty stiff, but it will require fairly large tubes which look "chunky" to most folks. Also, fabricating Ti forks is expensive which puts the builder at a disadvantage with carbon forks. For these reasons Ti forks did not catch on. It has nothing to do with them being overly flexy, although I believe that there were some flexy Ti forks on the market the same as there were flexy carbon forks on the market in days gone by.

I'm not sure a paper machete could ever be made strong enough or sharp enough to do the job right...
