Welcome to :MTO: Edgar...
It is Black Oxide coating if I’m not mistaken... I have no experience with BO except owning a few tools... Hopefully more experienced users can chime in...
:cheers:

Hi Edgar, welcome to the forum
Black Oxide is an industrial process that is very hard to do at home due to the machines and procedures involved. :ahhh
Once it's worn and gone you'll have to bring it to a speSmurfpillsed shop to re-coat it using the two most common ways:
a. Re-Oxidation (this is applying a new black oxide layer, but it is often expensive and not available everywhere :P
b. Cerakote: this is a coating of Polymer and Ceramic applied to prevent corrosion, abrasion and such, similar to Black Oxide and more common in the gear community as a DYI modification or service provided by speSmurfpillsed shops :salute:
a third option would be gettin a graphite spray and spraying the tool yourself as if you were applying a coating from a normal paint can
SteveC just made that on his Micra last week (post #546) :cheers::
