Description
EDK Limited Release
Our test of Cerakote colors and finishes continues with a color our Cerakote applicator says is so popular he keeps it on hand at all times rather than waiting to order it, Crocodile (H-360). Crocodile Cerakote is a “mossy green color dusted with shimmering gold metallic”, and that’s what showed up on these items. The color is really cool, a uniform green that is flat with a dusting of gold metallic throughout. The effect this creates sparkly, not shiny, without being glossy, and the major benefit is the texture of the Cerakote is not smooth or slick, but has a very tactile feel to it. This is one of my personal favorite colors; it is so cool and the fact that it has such a grippy texture is an added bonus.
The Crocodile Green EDK Limited Release features professionally applied Crocodile (H-360) Cerakote. Our standard ringed EDK lower profile was selected for this release as it is the only grip option currently available on the EDK. The Cerakote has been applied in a uniform fashion leaving a finish that looks great but feels even better in the hand. The surface features a flat green with gold metallic that sparkles in the light but isn’t slippery at all. This Cerakote is a nice even finish that has no gloss to it and provides a great tactile grip. This release is limited in quantity and will not be re-released at any time. We’ve selected a matte black anodized clip and the black chrome click mechanism for this release. Ships with a Schmidt P8127 refill with black ink.

*Cerakote is a temperature-cured, spray-on ceramic coating that is used in a variety of industries including automotive, defense, outdoors, and sports. While Cerakote has been tested and rated at the highest levels of hardness, corrosion resistance, flexibility, and heat; it is not nearly as durable as anodize. Like all coatings, Cerakote can and will naturally wear when carried against objects of a similar or greater hardness than the Cerakote. Cerakote can chip or crack if dropped onto hard surfaces. Be advised this surface finish will wear over time, and is not as resistant to wear or damage as our standard anodize.
The EDK V2 is made from 6061-T aluminum on our CNC lathes and Swiss machining centers, in Mesa, Arizona. Schmidt refills are manufactured in Germany.
