OK, some more details on the finishes, and I am interested in feedback. As mentioned, on the base model of the PACKLite the blade will have a GunKote finish and the guard, handle and buttcap will have a high quality custom anodized finish. Having the entire knife finished in GunKote will be available for a modest upgrade, but it is too labor intensive for the base model.
I am trying to get the anodized finish as close as possible to the GunKote, and believe we have come about as far as reasonably possible. The anodizing is very flat as far as sheen, so they will never be a perfect match. But in the picture below, the anodized is on the left, and GunKote is on the right. What does everyone think?
To reiterate, ALL of the blades will be finished in GunKote, and everything else will be anodized, for the base model. Feedback welcome.
