    just got my MT Amphibian from Discount Supply

    got the satin finish and it's too shiny for me. There were no Stonewash blades to be found.

    How difficult would it be to get someone to stonewash it? Any cheaper alternatives?

    It's not difficult just expensive for one knife blade. It is an industrial process, Stone washing is done in a huge drum where parts are tumbled with "stones" and a soapy water soloution. The stones are really chunks of ceramic in different sizes and shapes. The process is commonly used in the auto industry to remove burrs from parts.

    You could try rubbing out the blade with a scotchbrite pad. You could try tumbling it yourself with a coffee can and some shiney pea gravel and soapy water? Roll it back and fourth on the floor for a few hours. No
    way to guarantee you will get the result you want though!
