Wacker has also a black blade razor. But still, not too many makers are offering such a finish.

Mastro Livi over in Italy has been playing with the coloring of blades for a while now. Not a clue of how he does them but the dark blades, the blues and the copper coloring have been spectacular.
As was mentioned, the bluing of tangs and spines has been around a long time.
Charlie Lewis is also doing something with his blades like a pickling of the steel. Maybe he will comment more on that. There is a bunch of very cool stuff out there and more coming I'm sure.
Have fun,

That looks like it has a little pitting on it...better send it to me for a full cleaning. I'll even get it shave ready for you. Originally Posted by Lynn

Is there a disadvantage to having a colored blade? I mean, if I get a blade that has been blued, will it fade after honing or stropping?

I dont know about the effects of honing or stropping on a blue'd blade, but i know blue'd steel does have more potential for rusting/tarnishing, hence why i asked about melonite.. even though i'm sure a blade that is well taken care of shouldn't have too much issues with problems as far as rusting/varnishing/tarnishing.
