To Choil or not to Choil.. Boss Jacks

[slight]

no choil. for fine work i like to grab the top of the blade by the back. with my thumb near the tip in a pinch grip. I think when you get past 4in the choil just doesnt feel comfortable.

can anyone explain to me what the double cut option is? ive been looking at those boss jacks and wondering what a double cut is and if it is worth the $60

'Double cut' is basically a sand/bead-blasted blade. It gives the blade a grayish look instead of satin.

I think... (well, I know the color is gray; not 100% on the 'basically sand-blasted blade').

No Choil!! But I voted to get both.

Borrowed a pic from a hog here and shopped what mine should look like;

Double cut is a bead blasting process. It was worth the extra $ to me to not have to deal with coating wear. Here is mine:

I had a 2007 BATACSE that was DoubleCut and the combination of the kydex sheath and use rubbed off the DC finish so it was "grey" but the scratched areas were "satin".
I just get satin blades now because when the coating wears you end up with a satin finish anyway...
just my 2 pesos.

I definately prefer a choil...

Definitely choil for knives between 5 & 10"!
