It seems like a lot more knives are being released with coated blades. I know some people like that. I don't. Often, it ends up being a deal-breaker for me. I don't like black clips either. I don't even like black hardware most of the time. Unfortunately, this can mean skipping a knife entirely or having to bet on a swap project.

While a satin finish is better than coated, a stone-washed finish can be even better. Besides looking pretty or gently sparkling in sunlight, it always seems to wear better to me. As the blade takes on scratches from use, those scratches don't stand out as starkly. A tumbled finish can occasionally bolster ergonomics too as it tends to promote softer lines.

So WE Knife Media WE Knife Media , could y'all help us to get more non-coated stone-washed options?

I'm way ahead of you. I just posted my favorite folding knives of 2021. Notice which company had the winner in every category?

Best Folding Knives of 2021?

Sure, there are a few weeks left in 2021 but it's getting to be that time of year. Between all of us, we've probably sampled most of the market. So what were the best folding knives to be released in 2021? What have been your favorites? Going first, I've got to break this down by price. Feel...

BTW, I didn't mention it there but to get the Bo I want, I've got to swap parts between models. I'll be sharing pics of the results when I get it done. The point of this thread, and my humble request to you, is that future offerings include more non-coated and stone-washed options.
