Have you ever used Flitz, or anything similar to it on the TiCN? That's normally my go-to when it comes to cleaning up DLC. Flitz and a bit of mineral oil and comes back to a clean, and shiny black. Hoping for the same with TiCN.RadioactiveSpyder wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 10:21 amI’ve used both DLC and TiCN-coated blades quite a bit and my experience is DLC is a far tougher coating. TiCN both scratches and “stains” a lot easier, where the coating gets “cloudy” looking. With DLC, you can usually clean that cloud off with some soap/water or cleaner, but I’ve had no luck like that with TiCN. My experience, yours may vary. Cheers, Radioactive

The only TiCN I've tried Flitz on was the SNK Delica. It worked just like it does on DLC. Looked like new again afterward. I'll do the same on the DLT OD Green oneTkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 10:38 amHave you ever used Flitz, or anything similar to it on the TiCN?

Re: DLT Exclusive Delica OD Green FRN and Coated Cruwear
maybe it's just me, but i like the look of worn dlc and ticn. i hate scratched up satin blades, but i like a beat up coated knife, as long as it isn't a cheap paint coating that chips off instead of wearing.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

I agree with everything you said here!

Re: DLT Exclusive Delica OD Green FRN and Coated Cruwear
Yup, Roger That. DLT is always my first choice because they ship directly from the Millenium Falcon in light speed. Seriously the fasting shipping of any any online retailer for anything I have ever seen. (Always choose the regular Fed Ex 2 day if your in a hurry. Not sure why but the Fed Ex 2 day “home delivery” costs more and takes FOREVER.) It’s so easy to communicate with DLT also. When you call, a Real Person answers the phone!!nerdlock wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 8:49 amDLTJordan wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 9:42 amI'm really glad you guys are enjoying them, I am personally super pleased with these, Spyderco did an excellent job on this project.

DLT shipping :D
Re: DLT Exclusive Delica OD Green FRN and Coated Cruwear
Totally. I haven't seen many worn spydie dlc blades, it seems to hold up so well. But TiCN seems to wear off more quickly at friction points, but looks pretty rad as it does. Some people like patina - same kinda thing (although I personally like the well-worn look more than a patina).

If I didn't already have the earlier released Cruwear Delica, I would 100% get this one. Looks very nice!JuPaul wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 10:52 am

I had one :D. I am sure I could darken it up with some oil, but this one was pretty well worn. I do have the Ti coated HAP40 delica, which is holding up well.

Re: DLT Exclusive Delica OD Green FRN and Coated Cruwear
The "problem" with DLC, is that the only thing I've found that I could scratch it with is sharpening stones. TiCN is pretty tough, but definitely tends to wear more with use in my experience.
And count me among those that likes the looks of a well used coated blade.

Re: DLT Exclusive Delica OD Green FRN and Coated Cruwear
I do like the worn in look...but curiosity always gets the best of me after use, I have to clean it up to see if there are any scratches. On all of these knives, the DLC came out flawless. Very interested in how the TiCN does when cutting the same materials as these, and then gets cleaned up.
