Note: Black oxide is a "conversion coating", which means it changes the surface of the product, rather than covering the product, as paint would. Black oxide is formed by oxidizing the outer layer of atoms on the surface. In effect, it's controlled rust. When you first use the product, the black substance is this outer layer. It will gradually come off over time and should be wiped down to remove any excess when first received. It will wear away to some extent, but that's the nature of this finish. This means a black oxide tool can look battered at times. It is designed not for looks but use. Over time the carbon covering will thin but the black colour will remain. To avoid stains, simply take a rag with CRC 3-36 (or similar oil) and rub the tool surfaces thoroughly. The oil will set the finish and allow it to last longer. This is what your skin oils are actually doing when you handle the tool.
