CLEAR protective blade coatings?

[samwereb]

Are there any CLEAR protective coatings on the market? I can't seem to find anything.
(Thanks)

We had a question about this last week, and I never checked up on it...

Ask Joe Fazio what he can do for you...

Thanks guys. I checked into GunKote, by KGProducts. It seems it needs to be baked on for at least one hour at 325 degrees. I think that would draw the temper right out of my blades, or it's to close in temperature for me to risk.

 

[Nathan House]

if your are worrying about drawing the temper
there is one called Crib safe
I don't think it goes onder that name
you can pick it up at Kmart
or Lowes, Brownell also makes one that is spary on,That is in a clear coatand does not have to be baked on.The crib safe
is one John Greco uses on his blades.

No kidding? I'll try Kmart tonight. Thanks, Nate!

Sam, I don't know what steel you're using, but 325 degrees shouldn't draw the temper on most knife steels.

How about Renaisance wax? This is suppose to be great stuff

Mr. Hossom, That's probably true but I don't trust myself!

Eastwoodco.com has a powder coating system I use that works pretty good.. They also offer a clear powder as well as Black and lot of other colors.. The system costs about $150 and requires an air compressor or compressed air.. Hope this helps you..
