Difference between this and black/silver UV coated? Is the design with the silver and coating the only difference?

One review said something about white, even though I'm not sure what they were talking about, but this one is black. I just received mine yesterday. I haven't used it yet, but it appears to be the the same as the black and silver. Edit: All black, blue LED light, works fine for me.

Looks like the difference is the finish. This one says it's "satin nickel" which is a soft duller finish, and the one I have is shiny polished chrome. Hope this helps.

It is black and the quality is better than the silver one I have ordered before.

As far as I know the only difference is the color. The black one might have more sparkle in the paint, but I do not believe there is any difference in the operation or sound of the instrument.

I have silver and my wife has black. My silver case shows scratches easier than her black case. Not as easy to see on the black one.

No problem with coating or color, just thought the coating was supposed to have covered the entire length of the chain, not just 1/2 way. Long story to short, is the picture(I saw) in the add that I purchased from showed the coating covering the length of the chain. Picture was changed when I notified them (after my purchase)

Short answer... that depends. How will you be using the knife? Over the life of the knife with the black coating it will start to "rub off." With heavy use the black coating will rub off faster, and in my opinion, make the knife less "aesthetically pleasing." However, if you are using the knife in a combat situation a shiny knife can be a liability. For general camping/survival use, I would go with the uncoated knife. It is easier to clean and I think it looks nicer over it's life.

Looking at the model numbers, they appear to be about the same.All black: MRS152-30 (originally $23)Shiny black w/ silver: MRS152UV-3 (originally $40)Since they appear to have the same set-up (2 sockets, 2 USB ports - 1A, 2.1A), I'm guessing the price difference relates to the plain plastic vs. fancy shiny casing.

its not like a typical silver tarnish though -silver tarnish you can clean, this tarnish stays and looks cheap!

My frame is silver. I like the silver...but the black looks pretty cool too.

not coated. the previous one i bought not coated neither, but quality is fine and works great. This one, not worth to buy. seems like they changed material and the way how they used to make it.

I erroniouslly purchased the non coated version for my wife. She is a sunrise/sunset photographer. The non coated version allowed significant lense flare when pointed into the sun. While on vacation, we met another photographer who had the coated UVA filter. She had the same problem we did, only bought the MRC and hasn't had a problem since. I have since purchased a B+W UVA MRC filter for her, among other stupidly expensive filters, but I have wasted enough money buying items "on the cheap" for her hobby to know that you get what you pay for. I buy B+W exclusively for her 5D Mk ii and L series lenses.

What is better is a person preference. The white is a glossy slicker finish. The black one has a grainier grippy finish. I dont know if it is over silver metal plating or not. I own each (one for daughter and one for son).

I'm also looking at silver Asus laptops. can anyone clarify whether the silver paint is durable? is it semi-scratch proof? if not, do you see faint gray or black lines through the white paint when you do scratch it? do the 8 edges get super scratched and you're left with gray-spotted or black-lined edges? does the silver paint looked matte when the paint is really worn or does it still look kind of glossy? Thanks !

As far as I know, it's only a cosmetic difference. I have the silver version, and have no personal experience with the black "special edition," so take my comments with a grain of salt. You may want to do some more online research just to be sure.

The underside is not reflective. It's more of a matte silver. You can definitely tell the difference.
