No budget, located in the US, would prefer stuff with some reputability /certifications, and grade of titanium specified, not made in China if possible.

I don't think they're titanium, but I always recommend Klean Kanteen. I have a stainless steel 16oz insulated bottle and it's fantastic. Close to 7 years old and going strong.

Same though they do dent which is probably why op wants a titanium bottle

Good point! I dropped mine on a hike once and the rock it fell on dented the bottom. But luckily there wasn't any impact to the functionality—it still keeps drinks cold/hot for a ridiculously long time!

So I've gone down the titanium bottle rabbit hole before, and while titanium is tougher than steel, you'd likely be better off buying a steel bottle like Klean Kanteen. Pretty much all titanium bottles you buy are made in china and thin. They dent and puncture easier than steel. That said Snow Peak is probably the most reputable brand, but in my experience its not any better than a titanium bottle from AliExpress as they're likely made in the same factory.

It's not titanium but check out the Stainless Steel Nalgene:

It's lifetime warranty.
also according to Ultralight Reddit, Titanium isn't good for cooking or as good. So you're better off with a stainless steel. If the main concern was durability, again, lifetime warranty up top.

Why Ti?
Why not made in China?

Yes same question, Kinda weird when see people often talk about not made in China though maybe the device is typing also made in China

Lame argument. There's almost no choice when it comes to where your phone is made but there's plenty for water bottles so if he doesn't want to support a quasi communist regime with everything OP buys that is their choice.

That's not a good argument. It's a warped and poor whataboutism on numerous different levels.

Snow Peak is the brand that comes to mind
