SilencerCo Unveils the All Titanium Scythe-Ti
Below is the press release from SilencerCo on their first-ever titanium suppressor.
August, 2, 2023 — West Valley City, UT — SilencerCo is excited to introduce the Scythe-Ti, SilencerCo’s first suppressor completely constructed from titanium. This premium .30 caliber silencer is extremely lightweight and short, with the body of the suppressor weighing just over six ounces and measuring under six inches in length. The real magic, however, is that the Scythe-Ti boasts impressive sound suppression while maintaining this featherlight quality – a unique accomplishment for suppressors in its class. It’s the optimal choice for suppressed hunting, long-range precision shooting or days at the range. The Scythe-Ti will be shipping later this month and available at local dealers.
With no barrel length restrictions and rated for calibers all the way up to .300 RUM, the capabilities of the Scythe-Ti are extensive. It’s finished in a Type II Anodize and rubbed with oil for durability and resistance to chipping or flaking. The Scythe-Ti also features a new single-port anchor brake to give added recoil reduction while maintaining a minimum length. It ships with a custom titanium direct thread mount in 5/8 x 24 to keep the overall weight impressively low.
“Titanium has a lot of benefits over other materials,” said SilencerCo Product Manager Andrew Herbst. “Not only is it freakishly lightweight, but it also cools down a lot quicker than steel so it’s easier to handle after shooting. Plus it looks sleek.”
The Scythe-Ti takes sleek to the next level by replacing wrench flats with a special tool that threads onto the top of the suppressor for easy detachment. It’s also anodized on both the inside and the outside of the suppressor to reduce the common sparking that comes with titanium.
The Scythe-Ti shines in sound performance on 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .300WM and .300 BLK calibers. When used with the SilencerCo ASR Mount, it’s the quietest suppressor SilencerCo has ever tested on .300 WM.
“When we started our testing for the Scythe-Ti, we were aiming to dominate the titanium market in minimal weight and length,” said Herbst. “We were happily surprised when we found out that the Scythe-Ti also dominates in sound suppression. Overall, it’s a very well-rounded suppressor.”
The MSRP on the SilencerCo Scythe-Ti is set at $1,174. Included is the suppressor, radial tool, bravo tool, basic tool, 5/8×24 titanium direct thread mount, and Single-Port Anchor Brake. We’ll be bringing you more coverage of the Scyte-Ti from the launch event today, so stay tuned.

I don’t think anodizing reduces sparking in Ti as they claim. My understanding of anodizing in Ti is that it merely changes the color, with no engineering value.
Meanwhile, the CAT ODB is going to land two months from now and utterly wreck this thing.
