Aftermarket DLC coating experiences?

[Spyderwebs]

I like DLC. It has a nice look, is super hard, and helps a little with corrosion resistance. I'm thinking of doing it to one or 2 of my knives with an aftermarket DLC coating service.

Are there any annealing concerns with CruWear, S90V or 15V in particular? I commonly see temps of 350F / 180c used during plating.

Are there any issues plating a SE? (How do they keep the edge dlc free?)

I see packages to get the liners done too. Any issues coating liners? Or anyone do this and have feedback?

Can anyone with a good DLC coating experience recommend shops that did this well for you?

In general I'm looking for user feedback on any aspect of aftermarket DLC coating services, things to consider, good platers, etc.

Thanks!

I tried searching and couldn't find it, but there was a member here that got his K390/G10 Police 4 cerakoted. He'd be a good person to talk to.

Way of knife has a DLC service. I saw someone that used it on a CRK. Looked very nice. Not sure if they still do it or not.

Josh from REK has a great reputation for his DLC coating

It was DLC, done by Josh at REK.

looks like Marty Bill hasn't been around here lately tho.

The P4 DLC job I had https://www.razoredgeknives.com/ do is completed! I don't have it in hand yet, but when I do I'll give you some shots of the liners. 439.jpeg438.jpeg
