Finger Gaunt Question - SCA

[Woodstock]

I am looking at building my own 'stealth' finger gaunts and was wondering what would be the lightest (still safe/legal) material to use that would not need to be heat treated?

Titanium. Spring Steel, or...?

[NeeSayer]

Titanium is a bear to work with. I know it can be done but I imagine dishing out small pieces like that would be the opposite of a good time.

aluminum is lighter than titanium and easier to work.
titanium os pretty tough especially without experience.
you can make simple shapes but the compound ones require heat and machines.

I sell rough cut fully shaped 301 stainless fingers kits that you grind and finish yourself.

Regarding non-heat treated materials, remember that working them requires greater force than you want them to withstand.
