That finish isn't really a true "as ground". Once upon a time it was known as a glaze finish, and a lot of knives were produced this way. Its done with an emery wheel, not unlike the process of polishing, but using large grit to produce a coarser finish with tiny parallel lines. Higher end knives back in the day had glaze on the pile side and a crocus polish with etching on the mark side while lower end knives were glazed on both sides.

I love the as-ground finish. My sole example, a Peanut in mediterranean blue:

Might as well breathe some new life here with what I believe to be one of the neatest looking blades ever produced by Case.

Case mini copperlock, Caramel covers and as ground blade. Wish Case did more patterns in as ground. Think it looks classier than the high polish.
Love that Caramel bone. Case does offer several patterns in as ground in the American Workman series...http://www.wrcase.com/knives/view_all/american-workman/
