Sounds pretty legit to me unless I see something else saying otherwise. I think they just stress the titanium of it as a lot of consumers probably think of titanium as a "space age" futuristic metal that they make space ships and the SR-71 and Lt. Dan's legs out of. Saying its made of Nitinol means nothing to a lot of average consumers.
