it'll still be "as-heat-treated"....the satin finish takes the purple off...but leaves the original mill-scale.
You would end up removing it yourself the first time you had to clean the knife. A big part of the bushcraft was to have a knife that was easy to refinish....this finish can be restored with a simple scotchbrite pad.

hardheart - I have to leave some thickness to the bevels before heat-treat - to avoid decarb at the edge. So, I have to regrind the bevels anyway.
Really, guys...it took probably 5-10 seconds per knife to put this finish on...:foot:
Did this whole batch in 5 minutes. :thumbup:
Dang....I'm payin' for my Monday Morning silliness now....:foot:
