That's kinda sad, where did you see that? I like both, but the polished handle finish actually hides scratches better than sand blasted and really pops with the inlay. The tumbled blade finish hides scratches better, but I do like the current satin finish a lot. I wish both were an option to chose, and was actually hoping we would see some polished handles with micarta someday.

They're going to offer both finishes. The change is that the default will now be blasted, and the polished will cost extra.abbazaba wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 8:03 amThat's kinda sad, where did you see that?

There's a thread about it on BladeForums.

It’s no longer CRK, it’s ARK.(Anne Reeve Knives) It’s a shame what’s going on in Boise. You won’t be able to pry my 21s from my hands but I’m not a fan of any new offerings and changes..

On the CRK fans facebook page. But CRK actually did clarify on there - the matte finish will be an option for wood inlay knives, but you'll still be able to get them polished as well. And both kinds will go out to dealers. So everyone's happy!abbazaba wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 8:03 amThat's kinda sad, where did you see that?

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
Been carrying a CIVIVI Nox for the last 3 days. Really neat little sub-3" budget folder -- Nitro-V, thin and slicey blade, runs on bearings, solid ergos, lots of little details, and only $63.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
Just in yesterday. Small outdoors/edc blade made out of that mystical, magical MagnaCut. Won't have much chance to use it for a few days but looking forward to trying it out. Saber convex grind, reasonably thin at the edge, .095" stock, 63Rc hardness. 3.6" blade and 4.25" handle.
Because desolate places allow us to breathe. And most people don't even know they're out of breath.
