If you're referring to the colored coating on some blades....that's all it is (same for the rainbow or blue ones). I'm not sure how it's applied -- probably a chemical bath...it DOES come off over time (or with the deburring wheel on a bench grinder). It's purpose is as a rust protection while sitting in the controlled environtment of a warehouse between manufacture and initial sale to a vendor. If the coating has not been applied, the blade is covered in a grease coating for the same reason (but it's more of a pain to get off) The coating does nothing to the flexibility or longevity of a blade...THAT is handled during the forging/manufacture process. Maraging blades ARE different from regular blades, but that's a matter of different Metallurgy, not the color coating.
