Announcing the NEW 535GRY-1 Bugout

It's a PVD grey coating. That's the same process used for DLC, just different color.

Owned the 535GRY-1 Bugout for about one week, and merely scraped the pocket clip against a wood table edge and the clip scratched. (See photo). My understanding is that the blade and clip are both coated with chromium nitride. If the clip can scratch with a minor rub, what’s gonna happen to the blade when used? Hence, I sold the knife.

I didn't have any issues with my Bugout's coating. It always cleaned up nicely. I sold my last one and missed it enough that I repurchased one.

Same process yes (PVD) but a different coating material, this uses Chromium Nitride rather than diamond like carbon.

Yup, there is a whole list. My point is it's not a cheapo coating

Just look up "PVD coating types"

Its a whole world, different stuff from different coating companies, functional coat vs decorative etc.

Just geek stuff, only relevant if your getting stuff coated yourself.

At the end of the day my man. Everything wears, everything scratches.

Just use your stuff.
