Ceramic nano coating?

Going to be starting testing on a ceramic coating for blades that will not only prevent rust/corrosion but will keep the edge sharp longer and can be reapplied after sharpening.

Fda approved also.

8hbto 9h pencil hardness and is 2 to 3 nm thick. Should be able to protect corrosion without the need to reapply oil.

Thoughts?
 
The idea being that the knife would be returned to the maker for every sharpening to have the coating reapplied? The target market surely can't be people who use Bladeforums...

It will be available in pre packaged wipes similar to alcohol wipes.

No go you think?

That makes it slightly more compelling, but for me to be a customer it would have to show a significant improvement in edge retention and be very reasonably priced. Just the way you described it kind of makes it seem like something for people who find knife maintenance and sharpening to be a chore, not a hobby.
 
I think that sounds cool. It would be interesting to see if you could actually *feel* the difference in cutting ability (due to the added slickness all the way to the edge), or measure how much longer you could run the blade between sharpenings.

I cut up a lot of cardboard, and that's a *HUGE* test of any blade.

Good luck, and let me know if you need any other testers! ;) 👍

Maybe I should add that it's pretty advanced tech. Not anywhere close to cheap also.

I might have some extra to test. I have about 15 guys lined up to get a bottle in the mail for testing.

It's supposed to be legit stuff. The non fda version is for industrial paper shears.

Oh I can get gun coatings and coatings for the inner barrel also. Most of these are designed for industrial scale but I'm gonna bottle down some products for sale for the public coming up.

I can maybe get you enough to coat a few blades.

Is this anything like the old Sentry Solutions Smooth Kote/BP-2000 coating? I have some of that, but have never tried it on a blade.

If you want to send me some I’ll be happy to do some cardboard cut testing with a few different steels like Maxamet, K390, and my Mule Team Rex T15 knife.

It's a bit different than the sentry molybdenum stuff, I'd say this is more comparable to those 2000$ ceramic coats for your cars. The old stuff used some natural forces to hold nanoparticles on the surface, similar to dry lubricant sprays, this newer stuff has some special ingredients to help form a more permanent bond. Let's not call it an epoxy bc it's on a whole nother level.

How do I get ahold of you I can't send a message on here yet.
