AW: Review:Kizlyar Sterh/Cmepx-1 Diskussion
ok , the black coating on the knives is black chrome,
this is a chemical that is used on stainless steel firearms to make the black and glossy,
when the steel is polished and after this is applied then the steel will be blach and look as the blued carbon steel firearms,
when however the steel is vibro polished, and then the coating is applied then the steel takes a rough but even finish , we use both these methods on the blades,
on some consumer items it is applied with a coating of copper or nickel and then after the black chrome is applied, this makes a layer ofver the product , like true chrome,
we dont do this on knives,,,
becuase of the chemical contence of black chrome it has rather poor throwing powers,, so the knife may need ot be rotated several times when it is being coated,, unlike some other electro coatings,,
which require minimal adjustment,
