There are several types of coatings that they use on knife blades. The newest one that I know of is called "Boron Carbide" and the company that has spearheaded that technology is "Bodycote" out of North Carolina. I have a fixed blade Temperance with that same coating. I don't really know exactly what that one is either.
Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!

Tazkristi recently posted that the black ATR uses Titanium Carbo Nitride Coating. :)
I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it, and I don't know why I'll do it again.

I thought the black on the Spydercos was "petrified spider blood". No? I'm shocked! That's what my buddy told me it was.

bobbcat is right, it's TiCN (Titanium Carbo Nitride)
There is nothing more important than this one day.
Several choices
