POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
Who doesn't mind a black blade if you LOVE low chromium tool steels and still value corrosion resistance? Would you like to see more DLC options?

Love my coated manix 52100! I have yet to see a full SE 52100 DLC.

Re: More DLC low chromium steels?
Absolutely! I hope to see some DLC coated Cruwear, 4V, and 3V make it into some folders this year. Hopefully we see a few more models in DLC 4V with Red G10 from St Nick's. Native and Military would be great! Also hoping for some DLC LC200N Salt models with black FRN scales. Native Salt obviously, and then hopefully a Para 3 LW Salt and Manix 2 LW Salt!
While not DLC, the black TiCN coating on Seki Salt models is also great, and I am begging for a blacked out Dfly 2 Salt. Especially one in FFG PE LC200N! But I hope they do some blacked out H1 PE Dfly 2s before switching over to LC200N (if that were to happen). I would like a few of each.

CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY!

I'm waiting for the Blade HQ DLC M4 Military.

Re: More DLC low chromium steels?
I own a couple folders with DLC coated blades. They look pretty, but I really have no interest in black blades or coatings.
Re: More DLC low chromium steels?
Lately, I've been more interested in bare steels so that I can learn things about their stain resistance. The DLC (which I prefer for working knives because I think it helps protect them, although I prefer the look of uncoated blades) gets in the way of my learning process.

Lol, if observing steel rust is a priority I agree, DLC is not for you.TomAiello wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 6:34 pmLately, I've been more interested in bare steels so that I can learn things about their stain resistance.

Re: POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
Cast your vote guys, I'm curious as to where the community stands.
Think DLC Maxamet, Rex 45, k390, etc.

Re: POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
Didn’t vote. I don’t like coated blades, but why should I get in the way of people who do?

Re: POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
It's absolutely fine to vote no, I wanted to see where the interest lies. So for every person that doesn't vote, the poll is that much less accurate.
Re: POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
OK, so, No. :p

Re: POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
yes, P4 in k390 and DLC :) Or a Mili in same combo :)
Re: POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
How can you not love this???
Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:
Re: POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
I'd love to see more of this. DLC M4, K390, 52100 etc.
Re: POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
No DLC. Corrosion resistance isn't aided by it either.

Re: POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
Did I get that right? DLC does not aid in corrosion resistance?
Re: POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
That's my understanding of it, both from his post and others.
3 x Endura 1 SE, 1 x Endura ? CE and a Black Pacific Salt. Want Aqua Salt, Fish Hunter and a Pacific Salt Yellow.
Re: POLL: More DLC low chromium steels?
To be honest, this is not actually my knife but an online picture of the knife I own.
Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:
