Dlc Coating Service For Knives. While cerakote is a good option for many knives my own testing has shown that it is not nearly as durable wear scratch resistant as our new dlc. Dlc coating this is our premium dlc coating service applied to knives only. In abrasion testing this coating held up very well and has a coefficient of friction of 0 1 0 2 when completely dry.
Our dlc is applied with a specific formula at 2 3 µ microns thick which is roughly 1 5th as thick as cerakote and is around 3000 hv 85 hrc. This results in a very thin very hard self lubricating coating.
This coating is often referred to as diamond like coating or dlc in the gun and knife industry because of its resistance to wear black traction coating is the proprietary name of the finish tops knives uses on its blades through the services of james bowen.
