Who can reliably put a convex bevel on a Kershaw Outcast?

[Flashpoint]

The Outcast has a DLC coating?

I thought it was a Teflon type of coating.

I just checked the Kershaw's website and they list it as Teflon.

I'm pretty sure I read it listed somewhere as DLC, but I could be wrong about that too. :foot:

You probably did. Some online dealer's product descriptions are often incorrect. Sometimes grossly incorrect.

Hate to say it, but, I'm kinda glad it's Teflon based.
I plan on removing it and DLC is waaaay more work than I bargained for. WHEW!!

I was afraid I'd have to take the knife out and introduce it to Mr. Belt Grinder.
I'ma no wanna do dat.

I would think it would take a pretty potent stripper to dissolve the DLC coating. That stuff is pretty tough. I think I would wrap the handle with aluminum foil, and then a layer of duct tape before I doused it with a stripper just to safe.

I don't think a stripper will touch a DLC coating. I thought the Outcast had something less tough on it.

Edited to add: The last few posts before this one did not show before I posted the above. Pure Teflon is pretty soft, but extremely chemical resistant.
