What are the benefits of the Titanium Nitride coating?
The black Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating provides several professional-grade advantages:
- Superior Surface Protection: It increases the overall durability of the instrument.
- Longevity: It helps maintain the integrity of the tool over repeated uses.
- Reduced Maintenance: The coating helps minimize the frequency required for sharpening, ensuring the instrument stays operational for longer.
