Ti carbide coated blade

[Mo2]

So the voice overs are Hilarious. but the Science is cool.

what do you guys think about coating the cutting edge in titanium carbides? almost never needing to be sharpened?

Haha key word, "won't go blunt" doesn't mean it's going to hold that treetoping, hair whittling edge forever. Also ya can't change the edge finish, your stuck with a toothy edge. At least with Maxamet I can mix it up with the edge finish AND I get the benefit of not blunting if need to cut lots without stopping to sharpen.

But man, most people probably need this knife hahaha

Thanks for sharing though Mo2, love innovations.

Never say never . I would be skeptical about any marketing BS this days , especially forever and lifetime crap .

I have some Carbidized blades (kitchen knives). They are chisel sharpened. The flat bevel is coated with Titanium or Tungsten Carbide. They usually put Titanium Carbide on Titanium blades and Tungsten Carbide on stainless steel blades. The side of the blade that is beveled is ground to expose the coating on the flat side. Because the coating is harder than the substrate (SS), the softer material wears away in preference to the coating. The blade is self sharpening. The edge is quite toothy, so it does not excel at push cutting. It cuts like a little buzz saw when slicing. The edge can be refreshed by grinding the uncoated side, but it seldom needs it. Tungsten Carbide is 72 HRC, and Titanium Carbide is even harder.View attachment 816105

They make wicked slicers of fibrous or organic matter. They make awful choppers and stabbers.
