Ordered an with mini UDT with the Titanium Carbonitride (black) Blade Coating. Never had a black blade before. How do you keep them sharp without scrating the finish? I have the syderco sharpening but I would think when sharpening you would get off the edge a little?
 
I think the best thing to do is accept the fact that if you use it and sharpen it, the coating will get scratched, and removed at the edge ( if not already removed from factory sharpening ).
 
Why worry? If you need to sharpen the knife that means you have, or plan, on using the knife. Use will scratch up the finish anyway, so I just don't worry about scratching it.
