Coating Description: 

DLC (Black):

DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) is a very hard surface coating superior to all other PVD coatings. The DLC coating is very adaptable and has an excellent appearance that preserves the current finish, meaning, a bright stonewashed blade finish will be visible though the black DLC, while a matte finished blade will be a matte black DLC finish. You can get a dull/matte tactical finish on a bead blasted part or a more shiny finish on a part that is currently satin or stonewash. Be advised, if your part has scratches, emblems, logos etc they WILL show through the DLC after application. If you wish to have the logos, scratches, emblems removed prior to DLC, please check the bead blasting service box. DLC coating has excellent corrosion resistance and aids in ease of cleaning your items and looks best when oiled down. Please be advised that DLC does attract and show oils and finger prints. 

    Currently, this service is only applicable only to blades, scales, liners, clips, full spacers, hardware, or EDC tools like prybars, knucks, etc. Coating can only be applied to Steel, Titanium, and Carbide partsNO ALUMINUM, BRASS, COPPER, NICKEL, SYNTHETICS, ETC.  Please use the options provided to choose the parts that will be getting the coating application. These Coatings are offered to us by a third party service based in the USA which we are authorized dealers for. Please note: In addition to our lead time, this service alone has its own lead time of 5 business days up to 3 months, meaning if you have a coating service in your order and any other mod, your order will not ship until items are back from coating despite the other parts being finished. We have no control over the lead time, so please wait 20 business days before asking for an update. Please keep in mind we cannot control the lead time of a third party service.

Items do not need to be broken down or disassembled.

    Coating Service

    Posted by John on Dec 4th 2022

    I sent in four scales to be glass blasted and either TiN or rose gold coated. I was hesitant at first because the example pictures shown leave a lot to be desired, I wish they had more example pictures. After receiving the scales back in less than a month after I shipped them, I was blown away. I also waited a week and carried one knife to see how it would wear before leaving a review. I'm very pleased with the outcome and will definitely be sending more scales/blades/clips/or even screws to be coated.

    Sent in a microtech auto hawk and got the blade back looking super sexy ..original thoughts were that it would be an almost obsidian sheen it returned with more of a matte finish ..which I think I prefer after seeing it put together with the blizzard wash...over all very pleased!
