Opinions please...Beadblasted or polished

Polished here too. I echo the plain blade sentiments, or at least make a plain blade varient. I am so glad you guys are doing these new models in BG42, I'm eager to handle one.

I will buy one of these if, and ONLY IF:

a. It is POLISHED
b. IT COMES IN PLAIN EDGE

THINK PLAIN... Those serrations RUIN the looks of this otherwise awesome knife.
I do not understand why SOG will not offer a choice here, and on the rest of their knives. Why does it have to be a "special order scenario" or something that "may come along later." It actually costs less in time and tooling to make a plain edged blade, so why aren't there any?

This is total BS if you ask me, and if SOG wants to be a "customer driven company" they had better listen. I have already rejected the Vision and full-sized Tsunami as "knives to get," and the only deciding factor was the non-existence of a plain-edged version of either blade.

Polished or stonewashed before beadblast any day of the week... I also echo the Plain Edge crowd as I've no use for a combo edge.

Satin, brushed or polished. Bead blasting to me isn't as attractive and it also causes the blade to retain moisture better and, thus, rust and corrode better. BG-42 is a "stainless" steel but not as stainless as some. Take care.
