As a camper, you want to have at least one reliable piece of gear that lasts long. The light and rust-resistant pure titanium V peg is truly fitting for "that" purpose.

The peg that puts a stop to the debate between "lightness or strength" has been born

Weighing 18g for 20cm and 27g for 30cm, the "Pure Titanium V Peg" achieves impressive lightness. This lightweight peg is about 1/4 that of forged steel and about 1/2 that of aluminum, ensuring your camping gear doesn’t become too heavy. But strength is also important... so there's no need to worry. Despite titanium having about 60% the density of iron, it possesses high rigidity, which allows it to penetrate hard ground effectively.

Using titanium with a purity of over 99%, it disperses impact with flexibility and strength. The V-shaped cross-section takes on loads across a surface, anchoring firmly into the ground.

On hard ground, it retains force without losing it, while on soft ground, its broad contact area maintains holding power. Because it can adapt to a wide range of site conditions with just one peg, the frequency of needing replacements seems likely to decrease. Titanium has a natural tendency to form an oxide film, making it resistant to rust even in rainy or seaside sites, and after use, it's enough to simply wash off the mud and give it a light wipe.

As shown in the photo, it has an ultra-thin design with a thickness of about 1mm. It overlaps perfectly in a V shape, so even when stacked six high, it's only about 6mm thick, which is impressive. You can easily slip it into the gap of a backpack or pouch, making it less likely to interfere with bulkier tools.

Making the most of the material's quality relies on the processing skills of artisans. The "Pure Titanium V Peg" is crafted one by one in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, known for its metal goods. The final processing is handled by artisans specializing in titanium. They finish the titanium, which is prone to deformation and difficult to work with, using their mastered techniques.

By the way, the appearance of irregularities is intentional "damage processing." This rugged coolness is one reason it captivates campers.
