is there any blade coating that is good enough to not spoil the whole can of beans?

Yep. How soon depends on usage.

Coatings may look nice and help protect the blade but, again, it's a trade off.


If you want a coated blade and want to use it for food prep then you accept that it will be harder clean.

Knives have been around for a 1000 years without coatings and survived just fine with minimal maintenance.
 
yeah ya know i like tactical
smf i also want black one now. i will open cans with other folders.
 
I am not a fan of coatings never have been. However, Busse's original coating system in the late 90's early 2000 was nearly impossible to remove. I hated it, so you would love it. It did not chip, and it took me hours to remove. He then moved on to a crinkle coating that was much easier to remove, thank god. But if I wanted a coating, that original coating would be it. It wore out but I never saw it chip.

here it is on one of my oldies. But I do prefer satin.

Many coatings durability is based on how well the blade is prepped and how the coating is applied. Material prep before coating is critical. Cerakote can be a great coating. Unfortunately the Cerakote on the 810 comes off very easy with normal use. It is a great knife, I have two, but the coating just does not hold up. There are a few threads in the Benchmade forum that attest to this. I have not used my Boron Nitrite coated blades hard enough to see how it holds up. I do know the Boron coating has a higher RC than the blade. The DLC coating/method that Kershaw uses has held up the best for me. Many times it looks like it is scratched but in every case it was residue left from what I was cutting, including steel cans. I do know that the Titanium coated edge on utility razors hold up much longer than a standard razor. The Ti coating also protects it from rust.

Добрый день!

1) Get a can opener for your kitchen. Wash it often.
2) Get a Swiss Army Knife for your pocket. One with a can opener. Stainless and uncoated!
3) If you want to open a can with a knife...the only coating on the blade should be mineral oil. Inexpensive, food safe, wont go rancid, and its a laxative, so those canned beans wont "back up" your digestion.
