That's what I enjoy most about your knives.

All that and some blued fasteners...

Why I'd always opt for the lengthwise satin finish if & when the option is ever offered at any price. Absolutely serves no function, function, function

The coarse ghetto satin grind is really cool!

Behind the edge feels thinner to the old BFKs also

Feel in and and balance are very very noticeable

Here’s a pic of what the VIP Micarta looks like unbuffed for those that are wondering. I had a hard time getting an idea since it seems most here opt for buffed.
