Potentially Great Idea!

DMT takes mono-crystalline diamond dust and coats a piece of metal right? Well, what if you just coated the knife itself with the diamond dust? That would be the most durable knife coating in the world! Plus you could sharpen your other knives on you big knife. Please let me know what you think.

It wouldn't work.
It would not act like a coating, it would tear up your sheath and provide cutting resistance, and it would be difficult to sharpen.
also, I think the diamonds are embedded in the hone's metal surface, not just stuck on the outside.

That's a terrible idea.

Well, the good ones are.

You can have edges carbidized for greater wear-resistance but that's different.

Thanks for the feedback. I probably need to stop posting after drinking a bunch of caffeine.

You could do it with a 3000 grit surface texture, but you would need to have a wooden sheath, and the surface of your knife would constantly be covered in wood dust. Likewise whatever you cut would have to pass over two surfaces that were equivelant to 3000 grit sand paper, much grippier than polished metal.

If caffeine makes you post stuff like that, for goodness' sake stay away from booze

DLC coating would be closest I think.

No diamond dust, just diamond rings please.
