Preferred vendors for DLC, anodizing, other blade coatings?

[pesky_human]

I am finishing up putting together vendors to put various touches on my first batch of knives - things that I do not yet have the facilities to accomplish on my own at this point. The final step I need to source out is blade coating. I have found several DLC companies, and am coming up with various companies that do anodizing as well.

What I am interested in is finding if there are any companies that BF members have experience with in doing small runs of blades. I know I want to do some pieces in DLC and some in a tumbled finish. I would also like to explore anodizing.

So if any of you can recommend service providers in these areas, or any other blade finishes, I would love to see them posted here.

Thanks in advance! C

Awesome - yeah I actually did some searching on Duracoat and it is quite amazing that you can do that range of colors. I sent you an e-mail, which it looks like you received. I would like to continue a discussion, send you some of my designs, and get some price quotes for various processes. Thanks a lot for responding.
