Best Answer

This is an expensive and dangerous thing to do. The chemicals, which are not good for you to touch or breath, are expensive, and the equipment to heat them and use them is expensive.

You could take the knife to a metal-working shop or a gun shop and ask them about it.

The 'black oxide' process might be cheapest . . .

What kind of features should be considered when purchasing a tactical knife?

It is important to remember that what makes a tactical knife LOOK dangerous is not the same as what makes it dangerous. What is the purpose for your knife? For example, if you are a pilot and may need your knife to escape from an aircraft you actually want very fine "saw" type blades at the top to cut through aluminum. Generally "saw" edges along the top of your blade weaken it. For more general purposes, the focus should be how easy it is to carry, blade length and weight. Most folding knives should have a blade between three and six inches and not be more than nine inches long overall. Blades should normally be stainless steel and the handle should NOT absorb moisture. A fixed blade is obviously stronger than a folding one.
