Titanium nitride coating

The titanium nitride coating is mainly used for tool steel for drills or the like, but has also arrived in knives. In this process, titanium atoms are extracted from a material and provided with nitrogen atoms. These then bond with the knife through differences in charge. The result is a very thin gold-coloured coating. The coating has a very high wear protection and scratch resistance. In addition, titanium nitride is known for its biocompatibility, which ensures that no substances are demonstrably released during the preparation of food. This property makes it completely safe to use this type of coating on chef's knives. The good non-stick properties are also a nice advantage and make work easier. Thanks to its excellent temperature resistance, it also protects the knife from heat stress up to a certain point.
