DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) is an incredibly tough coating that is often applied to improve wear characteristics and add some lubricity to the part that is being coated. For our pens, it's more of an ornamental coating to get an ultra-durable black. We used to offer it more regularly but sometimes it's difficult to get parts coated properly. This latest batch took 4 months of back and forth to get a beautiful matte finish. Eventually, we’d love to buy our own PVD coating equipment but it's pricey and needs to be run by someone who knows their way around electrochemistry. In other words, it might take us a minute to get these back in stock.
