Did I scare you with that one boys??? 
. . . . I know I sceeeaart myself !
So, what exactly is a Competition Blade Finish you may ask???. . . Purty darned ugly my friends. . . purty darned ugly!
When we run new designs for our destructive testing we don't worry too much about the finish. . . but boy can those puppies cut!!!. . . We put a zero convex bevel along the edge that screams!!!!. . .
We don't worry a bit about finish, since the name of the game is performance. . . We usually take a blade straight from the furnace and do a light pass on a wheel and then it's all about the edge. . . .
It is difficult to put this type of edge on a regularly finished knife since the edge finishing process usually rides up fairly high on the bevel. . . .Very cool!!! 
We leave behind all of the peen marks, INFI dimples, and anything else that might be there. Sometimes we double cut them before edging. . .sometimes we don't. There is no set criteria as to how ugly these blades can get. . . .
Handles can be a bit rough as well. . . .fit and finish? . . . Uh, probably not gonna find it here kids.
These are beaters of the first degree. . . You'll never have to worry about marring up the finish. . . because we've already done that for you!
So, I guess the question is. . . If we priced these near the regular combat grade price point, would you be interested in buying one?
Here's a pic of the Jack Hammer with the Competition Finish:
