A satin finish makes knives more attractive and practical.

High-end products are often hand-drawn or high mesh machine-drawn, the traces of drawing is delicate, showing a satin-like luster, so it is also known as satin finish. The satin finish requires more attention to rust prevention and maintenance than other methods because of the increased air contact.
