Blade coating Opinions needed

[Hankins]

In the pursuit of trying to get the best product out to my customers it is difficult to get truly candid feedback on Blade Finishes
Finding that Cerakote (Ceramic Nano particle) is a tough very durable coating but so is NP3 (Robar Nickle/teflon) it is tough slick very durable.
Please vote and help get this ship pointed in the right direction. :thumbup::thumbdn:
Can really use your help on this guys!

As a user, I would want a coating that resists scratching. DLC is supposed to have that quality.

Hi Robert. I just bought the T-6 from you with cerakote finish. It's been my EDC since I got it. I love it! I haven't used it , so I don't know how durable the cerakote is, but I like the looks of it. Different color options might be interesting. I've never seen np3 nickle. Is it more of a polished steel look? Thanks. RP

NP3 is sort of a dull Nickle finish that is slick. Somehow they managed to combine the protective properties of nickle and the slippery of teflon.
Managed to also find a way to toughen it and get superior surface bonding. It is good stuff!
Cerakote is close in toughness with the advantage of a range of colors.

Etched or blued is fine.....No coating....

Where is the option for tiger stripes?

You mean bead-blasted HT oxidation?

Ever consider Birdsong Black-T? They have several color options as well.
