Mokuti (Titanium Damascus)Colour across a body or an inlay, with Black Timascus kept distinct

Mokuti makes its patterns part of the object, across a body or within a narrow inlay. Where it is used matters as much as the colour you first notice.

Qianji Pro and GD Diaoweiqian show Mokuti used in a body and an inlay. TW Cookie 2.0 provides a separate naming comparison through its AKS Black Timascus inserts; it is not counted here as a Mokuti example. A Mokuti label alone does not describe every component or promise a fixed colour, weight or feel.

01 / Names and surfaces

Material, pattern and colour

This atlas uses Mokuti for the material commonly called taima in Chinese, with Titanium Damascus as an explanatory name. The exact supplier still matters. Timascus is a material name used by Alpha Knife Supply, so a product described only as taima should not automatically be identified as AKS Timascus. Black in the full name Black Timascus must also be retained.

Alpha Knife Supply distinguishes its patterns from the way they are coloured. Its Timascus can be heat-coloured or anodised, while polished and satin finishes produce different visual effects. This is the supplier’s account of its own material, not evidence that every fidget below uses the same grades, layer count or finishing process.

02 / Body and internals

Qianji Pro: the body and the parts inside

In its July 2026 introduction, JUZHEDC specifies titanium damascus for the Qianji Pro body and upper and lower covers. The internal sliders use stainless steel and POM, while the grip is aluminium alloy. The colourful exterior therefore does not make this an entirely titanium-damascus assembly.

The listed finish is polished and heat-coloured. The maker gives a complete-product weight of 60 g and dimensions of 53 × 30 × 15 mm for this configuration. Those figures are not the net weight of its titanium-damascus parts or evidence that material alone explains a weight difference between products.

The same article describes tuning-fork sliders and ratcheting ring accessories as work still in progress. Those plans should not be added to the configuration shown as if they were supplied components.

GD / Diaoweiqian

GD Diaoweiqian: polished zirconium body with a titanium-damascus inlay. GD calls the inlay pattern “flowing cells”.

A zirconium body and a titanium-damascus inlay

GD’s July 2026 update separates two configurations: matte zirconium with PEI, and polished zirconium with titanium damascus. In the latter, the body is zirconium alloy and the patterned front inlay is titanium damascus. The coloured face does not turn the whole body into the inlay material.

GD calls this pattern “flowing cells” and explicitly says that individual inlays vary. It is worth looking at how the pattern runs through the long, narrow shape, while recognising that another example will not necessarily match the photograph.

The article also describes changes to the tracks and a brass impact block. Mechanical feedback and impact feel belong to the complete mechanism; they cannot be attributed solely to its titanium-damascus inlay.

05 / Reading the finished object

Three things to look for

First, keep the name complete: titanium damascus, AKS Black Timascus and a pattern name convey different information. Then locate the part: a body, a cover, an inlay or an inner ring. Finally, check the finish and photographs for that particular configuration.

A photograph can show pattern and shape, but it cannot establish hardness, wear resistance or how a slider feels. A shared material name also does not guarantee identical colours. Follow the maker’s guidance for the specific product if you want to preserve its polished or coloured surface.
