Coatings on 0301 & 0302 titanium slabs

[kwackster]

Just a bit of constructive critisism:

The coating on the titanium slabs of the models 0301 and 0302 wears very quickly, for instance in your pocket together with some keys.
Will future models have a more wear resistant coating like the flamecolour on the actual Striders or even better, no coating at all ?

Kwackster,

The coating on the 0300 series knives is Tungsten DLC, pretty tough stuff.
It will wear eventually with hard use, usually only on the high points of the CNC machined texture. You might want to look at the wear a second time. If it has been caused by keys in the pocket, it is most likely your keys wearing off on the coating. If that is the case, just spray it down with some oil and rub it down good with a rag.
