Well my M9LE came uncoated, but I must take care to prevent rust. SR101 steel (52-100) rusts very easily. Stripping INFI is no problem. It acts like stainless. I no longer strip SR101 blades. Leave the paint on, IMO. I will not strip my 911 or 1311.

I think I'll leave the coating on and eventually strip it the natural way, by using it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

No. Much better in the field to have coated SR101 than stripped.

I'm definitely not stripping mine. I like the all blacked out look. as for which one to use. I'm going to use my numbered one, since it's specifically more mine. I'm thinking I'll leave the unnumbered one in good condition ready just in case.

The only reason I'd strip SR101 is to have it silver plated for werewolf hunting.

That sounds like a lot of work. I guess if you are lookin to make it a show piece it would be cool. I agree on a lot of work for sure. If the coating ever got that bad then maybe. I kinda like the battle scar look of the coating on a well used piece of steel. I too love knife with "character".

I plan on using mine so definitely won't be stripping the blade. As horndog said sr101 is too rust prone especially with a lot of outdoor use. I did however strip the 311 because I don't like blade coatings on knives I use around food.

Scrap Yard knives are really not designed to be pretty. The Busse Custom Shop makes pretty knives. I have stripped many of them in the past, but you still have a basic "rubber handled" style knife when you're done. The beauty of SY knives is how well they work and their reasonable price. Scrappers are all about performance. The resiprene handles are much better than the kraton that some other brands use. Insect repellant does not seem to affect them at all, while it makes other handles sticky and melts them some. The handles also offer some shock absorbing quality. Down here in the mosquito infested woods, a knife like the 1311 seems like it may be the ultimate machete. We will soon see.
