What are the benefits of the Titanium Nitride coating?
The black Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating is a high-performance finish that provides two main advantages: 1) It substantially increases the durability of the instrument, and 2) it ensures a smooth cutting action, which helps minimize the frequency and need for manual sharpening.
