Are titanium-coated scissors actually better?

Titanium-bonded or titanium-coated blades are marketed as harder and more wear-resistant than plain stainless steel, and the titanium-coated listings here carry very high Amazon ratings on large review counts. That said, no independent lab data is attached to these products to confirm edge-retention claims, so treat the coating as a corrosion- and stick-resistance feature rather than a guarantee of longer sharpness.
