If you want talking out of it here it goes....
A satin blade requires more care than a CG version to prevent it from rusting.
A knife that size is very rarely used for slicing stuff, it's just used for smashing through so there is very little advantage over the Sabre ground version.
For about $20 more you can buy a SRKW Chopweiler whick in my humble opinion is the best large H/Duty knife ever made( more will be in the store soon. )
