For my money I don’t like acid washed, patina or mirror polished. However, the scratch pattern MUST be consistent and perpendicular to the cutting edge. If the scratch pattern is haphazard, parallel to the cutting edge or inconsistent I don’t like it and wouldn’t consider owning it.
I’m also aware lots of guys love the acid wash and patina or mirror polished look. For what I see of those blades the acid wash looks good. Not my style but they look as good as any I’ve seen.
