Quote from Joe Houser:
"This is the official story I got from one of our engineers:
The process is a PVD (PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION) chamber that fuses a number of materials to the blades. I believe we use the Black Widow DLC (diamond like coating) on the Cabelas knives and the TIALN (Aluminum Titanium Nitride based coating) for the Bass Pro series. It is similar to the ION fusion blades.
Hope this helps."
Is the rocker coated also? The blade looks slippery, armored and well-coated.
The old school orange 422, go Tigers, is a beauty. Great Halloween cutlery. Thank you for the photos.
Cool find ITE! Thanks for sharing:thumbup:
For some reason, I thought this thread was going to be about a 442:
