So, has anyone dared strip the cerakote knives?

Also I'm sure that the to re-cerakote is going to be expensive! Maybe 80 bucks plus shipping at the least...

But why strip it if it's done right?

Just have to beat it off, it won't take too long for a user. This is after less than 30 minutes of total usage this afternoon. The black top coat came off right away, the white lasted about 3 times as long but is on it's way out too. Maybe I'm just hard on things, but this was just typical wood chopping and a little bit of splitting work.

Now that is the way to strip it!
Use it or lose it!

It is definitely more fun that way! I posted a full review here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...od-eating-Sharkzilla-s-slippery-cerakote-skin

I have sand blasted canvas micarta just fine. It is like lightly sanding it.

Yeah, and it gives it a nice texture too, especially on smooth handles.

Good to know if I ever get tired of the cerakote on my fat ash, but I'm quite satisfied with the finish right now though.
