I LOVE the aesthetics of Rockstead knives. The pricetag? That's another story haha. Wondering if there were any other custom / midtech / production knives out there that also boast beautiful mirrored blades.
 
I think a lot of custom makers could do you a mirror-polish finish (or at least they should be able to). They've kind of gone out of fashion, but in my opinion a mirror-polished blade will cut better and be more corrosion resistant than a satin-finished blade made from the same steel.
 
I will put a mirror polish on some of knives, and it isn't that hard to do. But keep in mind some steels like S30V, CPM 3V, D2 and others don't really take a mirror polish, so steel choice does have something to do with it
