Fallkniven F1 black blade questions??

[stinkyspice]

how does the coating on the Fallkniven F1 hold up? and how can u strike a fire steel with the coating on the blade?

I do not have a coated blade, but heard that it isn't very durable- not bad, but wears faster than others--- why do you want a coating on a stainless blade anyways?

Well in that case go for it, The F1 is excellent, and always buy what makes ya happy, I wouldn't worry about the fire-steel, a couple passes and I'm sure it will throw sparks.
