Chalk me up as one of those who were a little disappointed in the finish of the new Sudbuster. There were scratches on the caplifter and an uneven satin finish.
Vertical scratches on both sides of the blade.
The secondary bevel was not very even. There was a spot on the belly of the blade where it was nonexistent. At the point of the blade there was a small rounded point of metal that took quite a lot of sharpening to get rid of. Also, the finish on the Micarta handles is not as good as I am used to on past F&F knives. The handle finish is polished in most areas, but not well polished on the sides. The champered edges of the sides of the micarta look like the person doing the work started and stopped several times instead of doing it all in one swipe. All of the issues I have mentioned are ones that would not be noticed from 2 ft away. I had to put my reading glasses on to notice, so basically only noticeable to people like us that really pay attention to these details.
On the positive side, most of this is stuff that isn’t a big deal as the knife is intended to be a working man’s knife. If you know how to sharpen a knife to your liking then you just might have a little work to do right off the bat. The action on both tools is just right for me. The cap lifter does require more strength than the main blade. I’d put the main blade at a 5.5 and the caplifter at a 8 on my scale.
If this was the same old $60 F and F, it would be a whole different story!
Tomorrow if I’m lucky otherwise Tuesday. 
Fit and finish is excellent. Loving this combo and the black micarta is nice
