So, I've narrowed my search down to 3 knives. I'm looking for a hard wear, semi-tactical fixed blade under 5 inches. The three that fit my criteria are

-Bark River Bravo 1
-Rat RC-4
-Fallkniven F1

Im worried that the bark river knife is a little too polished for hard field wear. Hoping somebody has some advice to share. THanks
 
I have an RC3 and beat it to death at work BUT I'd get the BRAVO BRKT's ROCK just get a plain micarta handle so you don't feel bad when it gets some wear
 
Just as knives, (leaving out price, company politics, etc) I'd recommend them in the exact order you listed them.

As far as "too-polished".....A polished + un-coated blade will out cut a coated one. Spray paint a kitchen knife sometime + see how much worse it cuts.

Coatings get marketed as a "reduced corrosion" benefit for knives, but IMO, they really exist to save $$$ from not having to polish the blade as much or as carefully.
 
Fallkniven F1 would get my vote over the other 2.
The RAT would be next, and the Bravo would be last.
