I had a bud using a ceramic coated chef's knife making some guac over the weekend, checked it out, seems like a slick ass finish. Just curious what people thought about it, if they used one with it or it's durability. So I ask, could this be a viable coating? Think it could ever happen? totally asinine idea?
 
I bought a 1:300 shbm in about 1998. It had a smooth ceramic coating. The crinkle stuff came later and is supposed to be more durable. Mine lasted a long time before I finally stripped and satinized it. Jerry has been at this a while. ;-)
 
Leo - Busse has put out a lot of "classic" blade models using Cerakote - CGFBM, ASH1, Boss JAck, etc, etc. The Ancient Bronze likely being the most recognizable and popular, as well as the American Flag Cerakote.

The American Flag Bunker Busters in SR101 are another example. Do a Google image search on Busse Cerakote or do the same in EBAY or in here for that matter and you should see its broad range of uses.
 
In late 1994 I ordered a Badger Attack. when it came I noticed that the coating was absent on a couple of sharply curved surfaces. I asked Jerry about this, and he said they were experimenting with a ceramic coating and they had sent me one of these knives. At that time, they had problems with the coating not clinging to the sharply bent surfaces. I elected to keep it, still have it.
 
So is Cerakote the preeminent ceramic coating? I thought there was a more technical process. I stripped one that had it and yeah, it was hard to clean up, no doubt about it but it wasn't as hard as I would've expected from a true ceramic.

Were the original SHBM's considered ceramic? I never thought so...

The steel was a slightly harder version of infi with an asymmetrical edge and the blade coating was listed as ceramic.

Gotcha - I was wondering as those old school smooth coatings act similarly to the one you talk about. Thought maybe there was a parallel. Sounds like a really freaking interesting blade.

Thanks j_d.

From my experience, bare INFI + cooking spray is the slickest DIY solution.

WD40 is the secret sauce for my 1311 chunkbuster.
