Knifeguy, all I can guess is the labor costs here in the USA make finishing much more expensive than it used to be. Even my old Schrades had a mirror finish on them when they were new. Or maybe labor in Ohio is higher than it is in MN and NY. Maybe it's the "Satin Finishers Union". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
