Hi,
What kind of coating is applied on knives here? Epoxy? FBE Coating? Fluoropolymer?
Thanks in advance!

The black crinkle coating is a proprietary secret, they won’t tell you much about it. Try searching Rat Chat for more talk about it. (try search for coating, subject search only)

"Blade Coating
The blade coating is a black wrinkle/crinkle coat. For those not familiar with it see the picture below. Through extensive testing, it has been determined this is the best coating available for knives seeing heavy use. This coating is ideal for extreme use knives because the raised areas will take the initial wear and begin to smooth out and after much use that part of the blade will still have the black finish only smoothed out. Only after the finish has smoothed considerably do you begin to see any of the coating begin to wear off. The life of this rough finish is extended when you compare it to smooth finishes of the same thickness.
Other advantages of this type of coating are it is less reflective than smooth coated or non-coated knives. It also resists stains and corrosion far greater than non-coated knives."
And that is about all they tell us.

It is tough stuff. I sharpened my SS4 with a nice triple angle edge and it took forever to wear down the coating on the edge of the blade.

I thought it was just a textured epoxy powder coat?? I dunno, but people have asked many times about it over the years and we get the silent treatment. So I guess it’s part of their secret processes.
