Should Busse Give The Option Of StoneWashed Blades???

[jeepin]

I have always loved stonewashed blades like on the microtechs, chris reeves, etc.


Would it be a good option for busse to do?.

Would it be cheaper to have them stonewashed versus beadblasted?.

Any other plus or minus's would be appreciated.

I find that the finish holds up HORRIBLY. Maybe something the custom shop could do though.

If it's not broken, don't fix it.

Yes! Call it Nuclear Washed.

I recently acquired a Stonwashed Emerson CQC7 and the Stonewashed blade is like having a custom knife compared to the coated blade, fwiw.

I love the stonewashed finish. The micarta sebenza and xm-18 seem to do well with it. I like it far more than a bead blasted finish. But that is just my opinion.

It's alright but it's no satin!

Yeah its no satin, but its great for user knives.

EKI stonewash is way better than satin IMHO.

I like stonewashed blades personally, but I would think that DC would be more durable.

I could go for some stone washed.I find they do not show marks as bad a bead blast.
I am picturing a Busse with DC flats and stone wash grinds.

Not until they give the option of double cut for every blade they make...

I don't care what finish it is, as long as it doesn't come with the $200 markup for satin.

They all look equally ugly after I smash them through some seasoned birch.
