A friend and I were at a local gun show last week and talked with some people from a professional Cerakoting company. They had some really cool Cerakoted guns on display and told us about all the benefits of Cerakote. I asked them if they did knives and they said that they do. The price for two colors on a knife would be $40. My friend is thinking about getting his BM griptilian done. I am planing on purchasing a mini grip this weekend and was thinking about having it done as well. We want to do it just because it would be awesome to have a one of a kind knife. I am a little hesitant, just because I don't know how well Cerakote works on knives. It would be professionals doing it and they do oven baked Cerakote. I know that all coatings show wear, but I want to make sure that I don't completely ruin an expensive knife. Does Cerakote hold up reasonably well? And is this a good idea?
 
I don't really get the point in it (since over time it wears away) However, I do like how some of the knives look after being cerakoted. Definitely gives them a unique look, and somewhat of a 'one of a kind' feel.
 
I have used Cerakote on thousands of knives over the years and it holds up very well. As you said it is a coating and will wear just like any other coating but overall it wears very well. Great way to protect your knife.

I am wondering about sending some scales from a zt away to get ceracoated. I know most of you have been discussing this regarding blades but how does it handle on the scales with frequent use?
