Is black oxide works better than normal blade knife?

Hi Casey, black oxide coating add extra layer to protect your knife blade. It has the benefits to protect your knife againsts corrosion, especially dealing with wet condition. We only apply suitable amount of black oxide to the knife as the blade itself is already stainless steel made. Too mcuh black oxide coating might not be good for the knife and our aim is to produce quality product for everyday consumers. Hope this helps. Many Blessings, BlizeTec

The 8848 has a satin finish on the blade and the 8846 has a black finish. This is only difference between the knives. Both have a plain edge (no serrations) and both have a black handle. Keep in mind, with the 8846, the black finish WILL wear off with use. Hope this helps

The fine ceramic side will hone your blade. With that said, it does take a little steel off the knife so a steel is prefered. But if you are looking for ease of use the ceramic side should hone you knives nicely.

I personally like the satin finish. You will be able to see the lines where the VG10 steel is laminated with the other steel. It's quite beautifully to see if you into that sort of thing. However, it's really up to the individual who's buying and what they're preferences are. If you are buying this knife for tactical purposes for yourself or someone in the Armed Forces, you should get the black one.

I believe the blade is stainless-- but the handle will change its color and feel once it has been in the dishwasher. The handle darkens. But the shine on the blade remains nice. I have had this Rada Cutlery for many years-this was to be a set I would hand wash--ok I forgot. I have the black handed ones also and they do not appear to be affected by DW. As far as knives go--the blade, cut and being able to sharpen them if needed is great.

Yes - A good one. It is made of black nylon. The sheath has two straps to hold the knife securely in the the sheath. I think you will be really happy with the knife and sheath.

Yep, definitely get the GK or GKP if you can afford it. Either is far superior to any of Cold Steel's stamped metal blades, like the RK. Sure the less expensive blades have the protective coating, but once it wears off through sharpening and use, it is just as susceptible to corrosion if not more so. The GK and GKP are monster blades, light and durable, and if properly maintained either will outlive you.

I have no idea. Dark bugundy with lighter highlights. I've had my original one for 34 years, the handle and blade are still perfect. I have had the blade reground once during that time. Still razor sharp with a few strokes of a ceramic stone.

I personally prefer the stainless blade. It doesn't take much to mess up the black covering and the knife looks ratty. But with the stainless it always looks good!

the blade is a normal drop style blade if you get non serrated , i believe the serrated blur blade is the tanto style.

Only if you are really concerned about any light reflecting off the body of the blade for any stealth work you may be doing or may do in the future. I will be buying the A1 in black coating soon for my collection anyway. Fallkniven is a great knife. Good to know that you appreciate blades as much as I do. Thanks.

So far the blacking coating on the blade is holding up. If I could do it over, I would buy the plain non coated blade. I have not used this knife as much as my old Spyderco.

I would say no you don't. All I have is the Presto sharpener and it has sharpened evert knife in my house to a fine blade. It's so awesome having knives that actually cut! I'm very happy with 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.

Jose, I just buy one of this, las year, and are very good, better than I was think it was. In my shun knifes, I olny use the ceramic roll (finhish polish), and stay very, but bery sharp all the time. I dont comend use the other disc, only if you have an very damage blade. By the way, this is for japanese angle knives, so, Not recomend to euro knives. But, I change the edge of an damage euro, to japanese, and now its very good to work.

Don't know. I have not seen/handled any bk knives. But it is smaller than a standard ka-bar usmc knife.

i never used an electric knife. for a regular knife, the board remains very smooth. no particles come loose from the surface.
