It is amazing what different manufacturers call satin and bead blast. My new SOG Team Leaders are supposed to be "satin", but are bead blast. Their Seal Pup Elite Special Edition really is satin finished. Gerber's "satin" is bead blast as is Busse's "Double Cut". The Horn Dog "satin" finish is "Scotchbrite". Cold Steel, Busse, and Scrap Yard offer true satin finishes in their knives, at increased prices.
