Looks nice, but why is a stainless blade coated?

I was wondering the same thing.
the little knife polished would be gorgeous

thanks for all of the comments once again folks...

Looks nice, but why is a stainless blade coated? To save on finishing cost?

you know.. i was wondering that myself... the vast majority of TOPS knives are all 1095 and coated... i have debated on stripping the finish off... might still do it...

Good stuff Mike! I thought that one would be up your alley. It looks like a handy little blade, certainly a good edc.

And nice fuzz stick!!!

The thought occurred to me as well. I plan on using mine until the coating gets scratched to hell, then I'll strip it and polish it. I just hope it doesn't interfere with the fit of the sheath, but I guess I can always take a heat gun to it.

Nice review Mike. Those are some of the most delicate fuzzies I have seen.

Good stuff Mike! And nice fuzz stick!!!

thanks guys... that is some Hazel stocks i cut a while back... the stuff is great... it is super easy/fun to work with... it makes great traps and primitive arrows too... it grows all over this area... the stocks generally grow really straight and in various thickness's...
