I don't buy coated blades if it's an option. For all the rest, I scrape and sand it off.Does Benchmade offer the mini grip in M4 without the coating? If not, what kind of coating is it, does anyone have experience removing it?

It's a WIP, that picture was from November, needs updating.Not bad, is that a finished look for your blade or WIP?
I really like a satin polish or factory grind or whatever; I want it to shine. So since they don't offer it I'll probably look around at the cost of blade refinishes (I am not good at doing things like that myself, I'd prefer a professional touch) or just get the 20CV.
I wish they would do uncoated M4, my Manix in M4 has a beautiful finish.
Jimmy, what did the old BT coating consist of?
That's a beautiful finish! I might just go for M4 after all and have someone refinish it.![]()
More to my liking, but still a WIP.
