From the pics, it looks to me like Snowpeak.

The real question should be why you would want Ti cookware! Unless the only thing you plan to cook is boiling water it is worth less. Titanium does not conduct heat well so you get a burn spot in the middle and raw on the edges. Aluminum is worth the extra weight. Boy that sounded like a rant sorry, just try to save you money.

I have several pieces of Titanium and I they suck for anything but boiling water. Wish I could get my money back and buy something else. Don't buy titanium.

I bought a 3 peice Snowpeak set at REI for 34 bucks. I have only had it about a month so the only thing I have done with it is boil water, and it did that well. I will have to test cooking with it just to see. They are VERY light. Less than 7oz for the 3 peices on my mail scale at home! So in my book, if the wieght savings keeps it in your bag instead of at home were you can't use it. Then yes Ti is worth it.
I will Report back my own cooking results, good or bad.

They are Snow Peak. In response to the other posts in this thread, I'd have to agree that unless weight is a major concern, stick with aluminum, and the no-stick aluminum is really nice to have. For my aviation kits, weight is of paramount importance and they are primarily being used to boil water, so the titanium is a good fit. You can cook other stuff in titanium just fine, in my experience, but it takes more care and attention. You have to weigh that (unintentional pun) against the difference in weight. That's a personal thing, not something anyone else can decide for you.

So the priorities are:

Ease of cooking = aluminum
Lightest weight= titanium
