A big <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> from me. I prefer uncoated and convexed blades on any knife. In my opinion, unless I am going swimming in the ocean with my knife, I don't need a coated blade. They scuff easier and the coating creates blade drag. If you take care of your knives the coating really offers no benefit.
