Just received my new Benchmade 831. Wanted a knife to replace my Endura (with the broken tip).
It is a good knife, shaving sharp out of the box. Been looking for a long time for a good drop point folder. It is also very light, which makes it nice to wear clipped to my swim suit when I am offshore fishing.
The finish on the blade is the only thing that bothers me. It is rather dull and scratched looking. Doesn't have the clean brushed finish that my Endura had.
Does anyone know if there is some kind of "coating" on the blade ?
Would also appreciate any comments on how this knife performs. Also any info on how it stands up to saltwater.
