Stay Sharp, Stay Protected: Coated Blades for Every Precision Cut

Whether you're a crafter, hobbyist, or professional, these high-quality blades ensure precision cuts while maintaining their sharpness and strength. With advanced coatings like Titanium Nitride (TiN) and Zirconium Nitride (ZrN), our blades offer exceptional longevity, and corrosion resistance.

Benefits of Knife Blade Coatings

Coated blades are designed to last longer, resist rust, and reduce friction for smoother, cleaner cuts. By adding a protective TiN or ZrN layer to our blades, we enhance blade longevity, minimize wear, and ensure top-tier performance for crafters, model makers, and artists. Whether you're working with paper, plastic, foam, vinyl, or other materials, Excel Blades’ coated blades provide superior strength and precision.

TiN vs. ZrN: What’s the Difference?

Excel Blades offers two advanced coatings to meet different cutting needs:

• Titanium Nitride (TiN): A tough, wear-resistant coating that extends blade life and reduces friction for ultra-smooth cutting.

• Zirconium Nitride (ZrN): Offers the same durability as TiN but with even greater rust and oxidation resistance, making it the ideal choice for humid environments or long-term storage.

Both coatings provide exceptional sharpness and edge retention, helping crafters, model makers, and professionals achieve clean, controlled cuts with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it Better to Have a Coated or Uncoated Knife Blade?

Coated blades provide better rust resistance, longer lifespan, and smoother cutting compared to uncoated blades, making them ideal for precision work and frequent use.

What Is the Best Blade Coating?

TiN and ZrN are both excellent options. TiN offers superior wear resistance, while ZrN provides enhanced corrosion protection. Your choice depends on the cutting conditions and material you’re working with.

Is Titanium Nitride Stronger Than Carbon Steel?

Titanium Nitride is a hard, wear-resistant coating that enhances the durability of carbon steel blades, making them last longer and perform better under heavy use.
