Attention 2019 Forum Knife : Poll - Blade Finish

[knifeswapper]

OK, the trim is Northfield (cut swedge, long pull, lined bolster).

This poll is to decide on polished or satin blade finish.

This poll will close on 3/4.

International Participants: If you live outside the U.S. and fully plan to purchase a knife, but do not already have a re-shipper service set up; send me ( support@collectorknives.net ) an email with a subject of "International BF Delivery" and body including only your name and country. This will help me start gauging a possible solution for this issue.

Satin

I really like the look of a satin blade with the Northfield trim. Plus, I'm having a difficult time imagining this big saber ground sheepsfoot with a polished blade.

I will defer to the majority and abstain from this vote. .Whichever finish the blade starts with, mine will have a patina before long.

I like polished, myself.

All in for a satin blade.

 

[metsfan]

Damn...tough decisions. I love satin finish on my users but a saber ground, polished blade sounds dope...

 

[Signalprick]

Satin finish for the blowout win!!!

 

[metsfan]

Polished, cuz I love how it blues when cutting meat!

 

[Rookie82]

Mirror finish is too hard to get nice pictures of. Satin gets my vote.

 

[Half/Stop]

Satin! Please!

 

[Nature Boy]

This is the poll I probably care least about, but something seems right about polished with the Northfield trim.

 

[DelOro]

Since I'm easily distracted by shiny objects, the satin finish gets my vote!

Do you find tinsel distracting?

 

[MadDuck]

I think satin would look better on this one.

 

[Ramrodmb]

I generally prefer a polished blade but fine with either here.

 

[black mamba]

This is for the blade only, right? The bolsters will still be polished, no matter what the blade is . . . I fervently hope!

 

[mykel m]

I first went with polished, then changed it because the matchstriker long pull will look better on the satin blade imo.

I'll always chose polished on 1095. Want to resist rust and pitting? Polished finish!
