It's by far my favorite blade finish, and I would gladly pay more for it. It looks awesome, and it's forgiving to scratches. Who's with me?
 
Would prob cost a fortune. Its easy to do on production knives as they're all finished to the same level. Busse would have to polish them out to what they call BIG finish then do the stonewash effect otherwise theyll be full of tooling marks
 
That is a neat idea. I actually visited the Chris Reeve operation in Boise a while back and looked at the small machine that stone washed their folding knife blanks, and it seemed fairly simple and provided a unique and attractive finish on the blade. It was very interesting to see the manufacturing operation up close.
 
Stonewashing adds some depth & interesting highlights with little flecks of light when the sun hits your blade in different angles...kinda like a granite kitchen countertop...

Helps camouflage "character marks" a little bit also, if that type of thing is important to you...
 
I'd definitely be down for a stonewashed or blackwashed. Any type of standard uncoated option for INFI would be awesome and would be my go to and would save me a ton of work.
 
It would look great, but I'd venture to guess the cost would probably be equivalent to satin.

You may be correct but this isn't the case for most companies that offer both

ETA: I guess the deciding factor when compared to other companies may be the average knife size
