Combat grade? competition grade? What is the difference?

I have the compet. finish on the jackhammer, and love it, so I am looking for other knives with that finish.... What else had it?

I believe only the '08 SE Sarsquatch and Jackhammer have been released in competition finish. I like to refer to the competition finishes as "CF", because everyone already uses "CG" for "combat grade".

I'm a big fan of competition finish myself. I wish they'd release everything that way- I like it better than satin. And its cheaper, too!

Combat grade are the coated normal models.

LE's are the shiny numbered ones.

Competition Finish is a rough "right out of heat treat" finish with a wicked sharp convex edge. When all you are after is performance....Not looks....

CG means Coat Generously... as in slather that competition grade blade in oil before it starts rusting. I love my Busses, but I am personally very disappointed that they are oxidizing the way they are

I think that the term used in the last Ganzaa was CE, for competition edge.

There is a post somewhere recently saying to use fine sandpaper to get down to the 'good' INFI because there is a coating from the heat treat.
