Opinions on the Double Cut finish

[Silas]

I was wondering why you don't hear much about them. It seems like I hear mostly about the Satin or Black crinkle coated finishes but nothing about the double cut finish. Why is it called double cut?

Actually I would have to disagree. The Double Cut finish is easily the most talked about on the forum. You can probably do a search and come back with at least a dozen posts with opinions on durability and such compared to others like the desert tan.

Double Cut gets it's name from it being a two step process as opposed to a single pass on the finish.

Thanks for the reply. I did a search but I really didn't find that much, nothing helpful aleast. Not saying the info isn't there, I was probably just scanning to fast.

Double cut has become my favorite finish..

My HOFSH will be double cut finish, it’s so long ago since I ordered it I’ve forgotten the handles I ordered for it.

Double Cut looks like bead blasted but it is indestructible..

I like it a lot. Basically the DC finish is so called because first a satin finish is applied and then a fine ceramic bead blast is applied (NOT sand blasted). This peans the steel and thus the DC is not susceptible to the increased oxidation risk associated with most bead-blast finishes.

It is definately my favorite, I order all my knives with it, the finish is much easier to keep looking good.

I have a force one with the double cut finish that I have been using and abusing for some time now... looks like new. a couple of times I thought I scratched it, but it cleaned up with a scotch brite pad and some soap... way harder then the desert finish on my outlaw...

for me it's a toss up, satin and double cut are both awesome finishes

Well I got my SF NO with double-cut finish and snakeskin micarta handles from Fedex today. You guys are right, It is a nice looking finish. I can't wait to test it out. I wonder if I could send it back to Busse to have the Magnum handles put on it.
