Progunner,

No satin finish on the standard Satin Jack. I'm grumpy, and the world is going to pay the price.

Don't get to bent up David. The standard SJ of the old days was the CG black crinkle coated version, so Satin Jack be the name, but it don't necessarily be the finish. To get Satin in the older style, you still had to buy the LE and pay extra for it. So as things change, they still stay the same.
 
Thanks for the info about the Satin Jack.

I'd normally be perfectly happy with tan coating, but on a knife with a full convex grind only satin will do.

To thin the edges on my Fallknivens (NL2 and NL4) I've had to work far more than the very edge, but this was no problem because of the satin finish.

On a blade with a coating this would have resulted in the blade looking like crap.

At least I'll have some money for a Swamp Rat Satin Rat.

David, you do know that the SRKW Satin Rat is coated too right? It has probably got a dual convex edge like the rest of the SR series. Maybe I am missing something on the ne SJ though. Perhaps the coated blades don't have the same edge I am thinking of. All I have seen in person are the show knives and they aren't sharpened to avoid accidents at the show.
 
Progunner,

I'm assuming that the Swamp Rat Satin Rat will be ground something like my Ratweiler: a convex edge on a conventionally ground blade. IMO, the best compromise for most blades, and in particular for coated blades.

Because of the secondary bevel you can keep it sharp without damaging the coating.

Also, for anyone who finds sharpenning a convex edge difficult it's easy to reprofile the edge.

With no secondary bevel on the new Satin Jack (because of the full convex grind) reprofiling the edge and maintaining the coating becomes a bit more complicated.
