My super-scientific "is titanium" test involved trying to get a fridge magnet to stick to them. it won't, and a normal keyring will. Yes, that risks it being aluminum. Other reviews state they put one against their sanding machine and got white sparks which was an additional positive sign.

Titanium anodizes very easily with a 9V battery and a wet paper towel. It’s a quick, and easy to way to test for titanium.
