I have stripped a marine raider, a bk9 and two kabars. I understand that the manufacture puts the coating on the blade to prevent corrosion and rust. It's just my opinion that they put coatings on most blades these days to apeal to certain customers, and that's just business, I get it, options. To the OP save your money to buy a better blade (my opinion ) with more wear resistance and edge holding.
