Is the coating designed for long-term durability?
Absolutely. It features a high-performance Black Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating. This advanced finish provides several benefits:
- Increased surface hardness: Protects the instrument from wear.
- Enhanced smoothness: Improves tactile feedback during use.
- Reduced maintenance: Significantly lowers the frequency with which the instrument requires sharpening.
