You don't want him to hear complaints? How will he make adjustments without hearing people's complaints/opinions?
There have been popular finishes lost to the pissing and moaning of cry babies in the past. Comp finish is one such. Before release, ample warning was given about what it was. Busse had to stop offering it, because people were returning knives, wanting them finished like satin, but wanting to pay comp prices.
I prefer the original BIG finish. BIG DC is just not for me. Glad to see others like it though. I'll stick with stripping the CG down to its birthday suit.
I considered that.
I'm thinking if I don't really like the BIG DC finish, I can scotch bright it to a ghetto satin with much less work than stripping a CG and worrying about what's under the coating!
