Has anyone had any issues with the black coating chipping/scratching/peeling or just otherwise coming off the steel? Thanks.

Not yet and I treat it pretty rough. I use it on jacks and rigging for recovery work

So far it's good. Normal signs of wear. It's survived 8 months of abuse in a hot dry desert.

I bought my knife a few months ago and it shows no sign of being used. And I USE IT!!!

The DLC coating is harder than any steel. You would be hard-put to scratch it. What a lot of people mistake for scratches is streaks of metal that ground itself out in a vain attempt to scratch the DLC. These "scratches" will wash right off.

Well we have a brush that scrapes off all the burnt pieces. So scraping of the black paint was never a problem. But if you don't have a brush then i would recommend getting one or washing it by hand every time you use it! Hope that helped!!

I use mine almost every day since I bought it in February of 2013. I love it, mine has not chipped or peeled. I wash the pan by hand, with mild gentle soap, never in the dishwasher. Is yours still under warranty? If it is, I would call the Zojirushi Company. Explain to them what happened and ask for a replacement pan. Good Luck! Hope this helps. Thanks!

I've had mine since Christmas 14 and I have had a couple knives get just a touch of light rust that rubs right off and doesn't seem to return. I love this flatware!

Mine is the uncoated version. I don't see the value of a black coating - it just makes woodcraft harder with a knife that is not easy to see. I don't know the nature f the coating, but most will wear off in time, and you will keep this knife for generations.

I've had mine since December 2012, use it frequently and never had any chipping, finish is like new, as is the machine. I love it for homemade bread, See Walter Sands recipe at King Arthur . com

I have not experienced that. Do you have a steel? That could really help. All knives need to be maintained.

It feels like steel to me and it's black...I love mine...I always line it with tin foil though just for easy cleanup... Sara...

Our pot is at least 3 years old and we have not had any peeling or chipping. We use it often and always wash it by hand. Have hou contacted the manufacturer?

I have been cautious about putting anything hot on it. I've set a mug of hot coffee on it for several minutes with no harm. My biggest concerns are chipping and staining. I've had to fix three chips so far (I painted in July). I wish I had gone with a darker color than white diamond because any time it comes into contact with any coloring (mustard...) it's an instant stain that I can't figure out how to get out.

I am definitely having an issue with the coating. I have submitted a question to Circulon for a replacement. My pans were bought Dec 2nd, 2013. The main problem i've had is with -- of all the pans -- the stockpot, which we use mostly for boiling things, sauces, soups. The coating seems to be coming off more and more, and it isn't inside the grooves, it is on top. We do use metal utensils, but you are supposed to be able to use that.. and it's not like we are frying in the pan (though, again, it says metal utensil safe). I'm wondering if we somehow got a bad batch, as so many people seem to say the coating stay. I am definitely having an issue with the coating.

The kit came with a clear coat for the top layer. I haven't had any problems with scratching or chipping.

Yes Kai does make a "Wasabi" series without any coating but its about $30 or more. I also own this knife plus have several colored knives and none have ever shown any chipping let alone peeling nor have I ever heard of it before. No dishwasher right?

I'm thinking about ordering this cookware. I read one review saying that it scratched the cooktop. Has anyone else had this happen?

peeling on the outside or inside of the wok? Mine is still okay, this is an iron wok, shouldn't have a coating of any kind

So far the blacking coating on the blade is holding up. If I could do it over, I would buy the plain non coated blade. I have not used this knife as much as my old Spyderco.
