DLC coating service. Are there any out there?
Way of Knife doesn't offer it anymore until they find a new supplier. Is there anyone else?
 
I can't speak to the regularity...my recommendation is based upon the quality of Josh's work only. But I hope you have the opportunity to work with him.
 
Best I’ve found is Josh @ REK. He did some amazing work for me including Maxamet and a special recipe for 15V. Highly recommended. He rolls batches of coating work through his shop. Best to get on his mailing list and wait for notifications…
 
Hard to photograph black blades! Josh worked on a flock of Pelicans for me not long ago. At 12 o’clock is a 15V Para 3, 15V Micro Jim, Maxamet Para 3, S90V PM2 with Ti scales he DLC’ed, 15V Mili 2. Para 3 Salt snuck in. Mili 2 Salt and Maxamet Para 3 did not make the family album because they are in my cargo shorts. If you want to see more / better, DM me and I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks for the shoutouts everyone!

I do approximately 4 batches per year, or 1 per quarter. I still have the first batch in progress so after I finish it up I will be launching a new one, probably in a month or two. I have 2 DLC recipes I use, one is a higher temp DLC (540F) which is insanely durable, the other is a lower temp DLC (350F) which isn't as durable but protects the temper on steels like Magnacut for example. Here's a few pics:

Evolution Armory does great work on handguns. Their website says they will do non-pistol parts as well.

When did they begin to not offer it anymore? Reason I ask is I have a blade and some miscellaneous clips/screws there currently waiting to be dlc'd (I hope)

It's not on there site anymore and when I emailed them they said they have to get a new supplier for that. So not available until they do.

They're all very nice, but the Umnumzaan is bad to the bone! Thanks for posting.
