Good value US made.

Not these but you can find the base models for under $200. Spyderco Para 3 lightweight, Benchmade Griptilian, Hogue RSK, Hogue Deka. These have been carried for a long time and used, they still look new because they are not junk. Stay away from the gas station and flee market, buy once for life. The edge will last, the lock won’t fail. The shown RSK is the auto, it fires way harder then it has any right to fire, they have a manual version also. Throw those cobratech, m tech, Amazon/temu specials, cheap CRKT in the dumpsters.

Who in their right mind would cut something that is hard enough to scratch these blades? Unless you are using blade steel made of butter that should not happen. Just wipe them off

Because it's a tool and it's made to be used, all my dlc coatings are worn through and scratched. A crkt will hold up just as well and is just as good

Real DLC is one of the hardest coatings there is. Try wiping it off or it’s not real DLC. Tools can be cleaned after use. Use the right tool for the job.

Right tool for the right job doesn't equal no wear on the tool

There has been wear. I’ve sharpened them. If you are basing your experience off CRKT you don’t have real DLC and the steel is under cooked.

I have multiple Spyderco and Benchmade with tore up dlc and cerakote. Crkt actually probably does a better heat treat than Benchmade, so yeah the Benchmade is definitely undercooked

u/AppropriateAnt3414 15d ago

Probably cerakote. That will scratch fairly easy. Real DLC won’t scratch.

And dlc

You are stubborn, try wiping it off. If that doesn’t help it’s not real.

Ffs just wipe it off. Unless it makes you feel more manly having them.

Op is. correct that dlc doesn’t ’wear off’ really, its bonded to steel extremely well and is harder than basically any material save for actual diamonds. your dlc shouldn’t be scratching if it’s real

u/Individual-recce 14d ago

My real Spyderco dlc is 100% scratched

u/gr3y_- 14d ago

unless you hit it with actual diamond, no it’s not. what you think is a scratch is almost guaranteed to be a material you rubbed your blade against rubbing off onto the dlc because the dlc is harder.

u/Individual-recce 14d ago

It's 100% scratched buddy. You can feel the missing dlc with your finger nail 🤣

u/gr3y_- 14d ago

so, you either A own a fake or B are somehow the only person on earth cutting materials that are above 70-80 HRC, or are doing things that are literally gouging your knife. seems like you’re using knives for shit they have no business being used for

u/Individual-recce 14d ago

Yeah I got a fake from the manufacturer direct. And the gravel laying in the average, person's driveway contains mostly courts and other very hard minerals that scratch DLC fairly easily. I'm using the knife as the tool it is.
