:ssh: nearly every grade of aluminum is used in aircraft somewhere for some purpose

it's kinda meaningless anyway since there's no reason that metal that's good for an airplane would also be good for a wallet

the reason is that "aircraft grade" sounds good and "space age" is cliche

looks like you have to also carve a couple notches into that artisan broom handle so your axe blade doesn't slip around, whang off the side of the thing you're cutting and embed chips of itself into your eyeballs. Does this come with some sort of broom handle notching tool that also fits in my wallet, or itself converts into a wallet???

oh, my, god. Becky, look at her bitrate.
also "aircraft grade aluminum" is the same as "space age material" and "surgical steel" in that they mean absolutely nothing.

mil spec, on the other hand, just means lowest bid contract quality.
