    Nope

    I wanted a satin blade, but they were limited edition and gone now

    And the coating won't come off, it's not your normal coating

    Its a chemical bonded coating, it has a ridiculous Rockwell rating of like 75

    I would have to grind it off

    I don't like the look of it, black blades tend to scare sheeple

    ok..i am accident prone. i've been to the ER for stitches way too many times.

    for the record, you CANNOT use a benchmade to open an oyster...EVER. (no pics of that visit)

    i am trying to keep a brave face. i was cleaning the wound and changing bandages..i almost fainted...hahaha.

    Osbornes are super cool!! it may be my favorite tanto tipped blade. typically not a fan.

    i wished that 755 had a partial serrated blade option..but it is probably too short for that.

    Well, among other blades items besides knives, I like vintage axes a lot

    This is a plumb axe that I am restoring, anyone else do anything with axes?

    (ps: i consider an axe as a knife because mine are just as sharp)

    Lol

    It takes a lot of practice, I'm not great at it

    But I can restore them, and they look good when I get done

    That one is soaking in vinegar to remove the rust right now

    This is the same axe I posted earlier, I'm now looking for a machete or knife to redo the same way

    My only issue with the lmf ii is the serrations. It would be perfect without them

    I think it's all in the application. I've only been carrying a knife for 3 years but in my line of work serrations just get in the way I've never needed them yet
