What finish is best for less recognizable scratches???

As far as wear hiding, stonewash or hand rubbed satin are probably your best bets. Acid wash is good too, if you want a darker blade without going for a full solid color coat like DLC or Ceracote, though I will say that a worn DLC coat looks very nice, makes the knife look achieved, and who doesn't want their knives to look like they do what they were made to do? I just got a Brous Blade Bionic 2.0 in full black-out and I can't wait to see how the DLC coating holds up to full 8 hour work days of cutting through heavy cardboard for a few months.
