He just strips them because he never uses 'em, and thus doesn't have to worry about the coating giving it away.

I love my custom 11 Creaky Bones gifted to me, with the longer handle. I use this thing all the time.

This post makes me happy.

I use em when I can and when I do they are Awesome I have left the paint on my 21 to wear it off That coating is pretty tough it's holding up well I'am going to have to strip it

I like all kinds of finishes on my knives. Coated, uncoated, sandblasted, satin, matters not to me. I love them all!

I have been pondering stripping the 16 since it should really help with reducing friction while making cuts.

The 9 and 7 are most likely gonna stay coated for a while.

Quick question on the stripping...do you leave the scales on? Will the remover damage the scales?

I've always outlined the scales with a pencil. Than remove em and carefully apply remover with a Q-TIP just up to line and it doesn't matter away from it. Once I have the grip outline stripped apply where needed . Don't go passed the scale outlines . I just recently saw 91bravo keep the Micarta scales on put remover everywhere said it took all the paint and cleaned his scales all at the same time Sounds like the way to go to me in the future . But hopefully 91 will respond and tell more about that process this I have experienced I put the remover I use in a small empty can if I have one . I couldn't find one at the time I wanted to strip so I used a plastic salsa cup it desvolved it

Thanks for the help gentlemen. I hope to carve out some time to get this done this week. This BK16 is such a handy knife. I’m seriously considering buying another for kitchen use.

Have you ever used citrus strip? I realize that lot of people are well stocked on stripper so there isn’t the need to buy anotherproduct—but this one can be done indoors—has no toxic vapors or leftovers. It takes a longer soak (30 minutes to an hour) but it won’t dissolve a cup on you, I’ve even got some on my finger and rinsed it off without worrying at all about it.
