As I recall, it began "It was a dark and stormy night..."
(I can't help but wonder how few will actually get that, lol)
On a more serious note, I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Both are Blackjack BKs, and both are sterile blades with a grey coating. The coating on the Brute is much different, though - smooth & somewhat shiny, looking a lot like paint. I was familiar with the finish on the 2; but surprised by the look of the Brute...enough so that I contacted Bladite to ask about it. He affirmed that, once upon a time, the Blackjacks were finished that way. I'm guessing that it probably isn't pretty underneath, though, since he advised against stripping it.
