DLC coating?

[thales2015]

I am interested in getting a small knife coated with DLC and wonder if anyone has good contacts for high quality application. I appreciate any help/leads you can provide. Thanks.

Ionbond are the only people who do a true DLC as far as I know. I don't think they take individual work but I feel like it wouldn't be cost effective. It can be pretty expensive if you don't have the necessary scale.

You are probably better off sticking with a cheaper option.

Thanks for the reply. Any suggestions as good (read "cheaper") alternatives?

Ceracote is tough though not as DLC.

Parkerizing is a common 'coating' process that's been in use over 100 years.

It's that grey coating found on most WW2 firearms.

Last I knew Richter Precision will do one offs... runs roughly over $200+ for an entire folder though.
