Looking for specific knife...

G'day,
If you really want shiny--then mirror polish is the only way to go. The shinyness of a satin finish depends on the fineness of the grit used to finish the blade--the finer the grit the more shiny the blade. Some steels--S30V and D2 do not usually polish up as smoothly as others.
You can of course polish up a blade that comes with a satin finish. If you are handy then a couple of hours with some of the finer grades of wet/dry paper can shiny up any satin or stone-wash finish. I did this to the hollow grind portion of my Sebenza and I really like the two-tone look.
Be aware that the shinier the blade the more you will see the scratches that come from using it.

that sounds more like a beadblast finish, I don't even know how a company could call a gray blade 'satin'
 
Yeah, that definitely sounds like a bead- or sand-blasted finish. All I know is that the "satin" finish of my Ares happens to be very shiny.
 
One that would be high on style points, though it's not serrated and somewhat more than $200, would be the Cold Steel Talwar (I've seen it listed online for as low as $216 - when available).

It's a beautiful folder but probably not very practical for EDC, though it would be a real attention-getter when you do use it.

Check out the Cold Steel website for a better look.
 
Camillus Dominator? Ti framelock, S30V blade, under 4 inches Assisted opening with flipper and thumbstuds. Not sure about clip reversability though.

Well if it doesnt', it's still a cheap and easy modification. It only needs a few threaded holes, some screws and an aftermarket clip and the knife is almost exactly like the one spud8 wants.


I think he will have to go with a modified production blade anyway.
