Blade Coating Recommendations

Would anybody care to recommend a good coating for knife blades and other parts? Im looking for something a little more durable than spray paint, im leaning towards something like Cerakote, but the startup cost is a little intimidating. Ive got no issues paying for a good product but if theres a cheaper and easier to apply product that preforms just as well...

Intended use would be coating knife blades in both carbon and stainless steel, as well as aluminium for handle scales and the like. Whatever it is would probably see more aluminium than anything else, i use aluminium for the handles of the butterfly knives i make. I have tried anodizing for those, but that particular process is a bit of a nightmare. Im thinking some form of spray-in coating is much better for my needs there
