I think you could make a case for this-- besides the cost it'd by necessity add to the blades.
I haven't found any downside to NM treatment besides if a person just didn't like the way it looked, like Demon613 says above.
Maybe if for some reason you found yourself needing a 90 deg edge for scraping, or something task like that, without damaging your secondary grind then you wouldn't like NM.
You'd have a hard time finding a sharp edge on my NMSFNO-- besides in the obvious place, of course.
I like it so much, I even find myself sometimes trying to make non-NMSFNO models more like NMSFNO's .
btw, I had Josh grind a thumb notch @ a clean 90 deg. just in case I wanted to scrape some bark off a pole.
I hope you do not mind if I copy your NMB8 concept one day, P! That knife is one of my favorite knives of all time (your NMB8)...what a great freaking idea.
