Frequently asked questions
How does the Titanium Nitride coating improve instrument performance?
The black Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating is a premium surface treatment that provides two major functional benefits:
- Enhanced Durability: It protects the stainless steel surface, which significantly increases the lifespan of the tool.
- Smoother Operation: The coating creates a reduced-friction working surface, which helps maintain the sharpness of the bite and reduces the frequency of required professional sharpening.
