Yes, I checked out "porous" and got the same...I wondered if the word "porous" had been used instead of "pitted"...
Yep, I'm inclined to agree with you. It looks like he was talking about "pitted",
which makes sense. You use the coating to cover up the pits in the unfinished
blade rather than spending a lot more time and money finishing up the surface.
