Lil'Native blade finish...help me decide

#1

Post by elena86 »

I decided to purchase a Lil'Native which is crazy since I don't like the big brother but I am a sucker for small blades. I have to chose between the comp lock and the back lock variant and the blade finish might be a decisive factor for me as much as the lock type. So... a question for those who own both or at least have the info : does the back lock one have a satin finish and the comp lock one a matte finish or both have the same matte finish ? Thanx

My comp lock Lil' Native has a satin finish and I'm pretty sure the back lock version is the same.

The comp lock was a sort of matte satin. Almost like a satin over bead blast, though I doubt that is what it is. There's not the striations or grind lines like on some other satin finish ones.

Yep, it's the same finish that's on the black g10 Manix 2.
