[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2397651, member: 229"] I'm going to work it first and see how bad the friction is (that's the #1 complaint I've read). Worst case, I can take a stone to the flat-ground side and smooth the lumps out a bit while still having the coating). I really don't want to strip it all off because of the bolt-on scales (I've had a stripped high-carbon fixed blade develop a bit of rust under the scales because I got it wet so I'd rather have the coating at least back there). I've got to be honest, I wasn't too impressed with Queen's fixed blades for the longest time (I thought they were mostly false or stick tang fixed blade skinners), but I just started looking at that fixed blade hunter with Oak handles (for under $50) and I really like everything about it other than the leather sheath and non-stabilized oak handles but for the price (and getting D2 Tool Steel), I might have to look past that.
