that SWMBO is very interested in (being an artist and scientist and all) and which I must admit a certain interest in as well...
Titanium Art: The colorful process of anodization
SWMBO has a nice piece of titanium that has been treated in this way. It's the raw material, and not metal that has been turned into an object, and it's really beautiful!
A company called Kershaw, a knife branch of a Japanese company called Kai (which makes some really high-end kitchen knives that SWMBO has and which she just loves!) makes a knife called the Leek (in a line named after aromatic plants - leek, chive, scallion, designed by a fellow named Ken Onion. Get it? Ha, ha.) that I have longed wished for, but given the whole idea that knives are to be used, and abrasion wears the coating off, it has never made much sense to me to get one. It doesn't seem very practical to me...
