Ya know, the more I think about it being differentially tempered, the more I want to strip the coating... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />



I (of course) WAY prefer satin blades anyway. I do thank Dan for bringing us "most" knives with a satin option.

Unfortunately, historically there have been VERY FEW satin SR-101 blades - whether differentially heat treated or not.

The M9LE was one of the first in MANY years.

I WISH they always provided satin options (at reasonable up-charges), but historically, they have not - especially in SR-101.


Anyway, as much as satin looks WAY nicer to me just in general, Differentially heat-treated SR-101 is a BIG extra bonus in looks!!!
