No pics yet. just one of those "market tests" I like to do.
DLC coating. Should be tough. The sample I've been carrying is holding up well.
Some distributors already have them.

Hey Sal, I have a quick question. On these test runs are the knives being produced for the spyderco collectors as well if they chose all variants? I have yet to recieve any spyderco knives to date with my collector # on them. I joined about the middle of last month (Jan.). Please let me know something here or at my email addy ekerne@msn.com
Thanks!
Thanks!
The DLC thin-coated film is composed of carbon (C), the same as diamond and graphite. The structure of DLC is amorphous.
The bonding mode between the carbon atoms of DLC consists of both a diamond structure and a graphite one; the carbon atoms are partially connected with hydrogen atoms.
Because of such a hydrogen bond, DLC has an amorphous structure, without having the crystal structure made up of a regular combination in the order of long distance.
The properties of DLC are similar to those of diamond, so DLC is called Diamond-Like Carbon.
DLC has a very low coefficient of friction and high wear resistibility; DLC is used prosperously in recent years in the manufacturing field. At present, the DLC is deposited by high frequency plasma CVD method.
Glow discharge is generated by adding high frequency electric power between two electrodes, which face each other. The DLC thin film is accumulated on the surface of the substrate, which is settled on the cathode electrode by decomposing a material gas such as CH4 (methane) which, is introduced between the electrodes by utilizing glow discharge,
The Characteristics of DLC:
1. High hardness, Low coefficient of friction. Excellent abrasion resistance
2. Very smooth surface Low attacking nature
3. Chemically inactive. Excellent corrosion resistance
4. Very little wear powder (under frictional movement). Excellent preventative nature for emitting dust and contamination

Will the Black Blade Military be the SV30 Steel or the CPM440 or another steel?
Will this (blackened blade) add materially to the purchase price?
Will it be available in a Plain Edged version as well as Serrated?
Sounds like something worth saving up for!
