Cerakote does wear off with use, but not as bad as BM's regular BK coating.. Having used both, I prefer cerkakote (if I have to use a blade w/ coating).. When reading about cerakote on past forums (when it was first being used on knives), people made it sound like the grail of all coatings - probably a "new-user bias."
Having used both the BK and cerakote BM offers, I now stay away from all coatings because blades end up looking horrible IMO.. I know some will say, "It gives the knife character." But the fact is, blades look bad, and turns me off for using them on harder jobs - the feeling I don't get using uncoated.
So to answer your question, it does come off pretty easy, however, not as quick as the regular BM coatings.. Those just suck. I think I've read in the past that even if cerakote scratches, it has a clear-coat as well... So it is slightly better than the BK coats..
Truly. You should experience some of the other Benchmade "coatings" - just paint!
