I do like the satin finish, but the Northfields seem to me like they should be high polish..
I thought I saw somewhere that the Blackwood 72's where polished blades.

Yes the Northfields all seem to have a polished finish except for the #77 SFO barlows which were satin. The ABW's are polished and they look fantastic.
Clip blade on the Forum knife??? (per GEC's latest Production Schedule)

According to Knifeswapper elsewhere, they have not yet tested the bone micarta so it's "TBA" only in the sense that it's not 100% that they can pull it off.
I wonder what's hard about processing the bone linen micarta? As long as they're not trying to saw-cut or jig it then it shouldn't be more difficult than working the maroon micarta....unless I'm missing something obvious?
Several of the Northfields do come with satin blades. I think it depends of the blade etch. This etch means satin finish in my experience. This #25 is an example of a Northfield with a satin blade.
