What kind of coating do Spyderco use on their black color blade?

Hi Guys, Can someone tell me. Is it teflon, DLC or just black paint? Is it worth the extra over their uncoated blade? Thanks in advance!

It's DLC. I've been told it's a very durable coating.

It is very durable.

I made the mistake of letting my lighter rub against my military blade all day in my pocket. Took the knife out... all the metal rubbing wiped right off with my thumb and the black finish looks good as new

I believe that different models use different coatings.

Thanks guys for your replies! I guess I will go with the black Military
