Coated vs slicksteel? Which one is considered better? Wish they only had one style!

I got the coated version and it is superb. I have no experience with slick steel.

I purchased the stainless steel smoky blue because it was reviewed in Bon Appetit. I have really enjoyed it!

Go with the Slicksteel. Why risk the leaching of toxic chemicals from the coated version? There are other chemicals besides BPA that are toxic.... they're just not publicized as much.

Have the stainless and it is fine. Cannot comment on slicksteel. Great product

As in cookware- it just comes down to how you feel about non-stick coatings. Some people are paranoid about chemicals- others prefer nonstick, so they offer both. I personally prefer the electro-polishing because I don't worry that I will scrape up the coating when I scrub the interior. And what is the point of getting stainless steel if you're just gonna coat it with plastic?

Coating looks and feels luxurious and the the bottle keeps liquids very hot yet the exterior stays cool and silky !

Mine is the uncoated version. I don't see the value of a black coating - it just makes woodcraft harder with a knife that is not easy to see. I don't know the nature f the coating, but most will wear off in time, and you will keep this knife for generations.

Slicksteel cleans better. Over time, the nonstick coating gets stained, and there's a lingering coffee smell as well. I have both.

I LOVED my SteelSeries Qck pad but then discovered the CS-Hyde-C4-NGen-Mousepad-Copper (found on Amazon)....which I like even more. It's about as slick as a mousepad can get. I had more control with the SteelSeries pad, but as my wrist/fingers strengthened, the Ngen was the better choice for me. I bought the very thin version of the Ngen which costs quite a bit less than the one with cushioning, but by keeping it on top of the SteelSeries pad, I have the best of both worlds so to speak.

Thank you for the inquiry. We stopped selling the "satin" finish version due to poor response. The chrome version looks great down below once you install it. The chrome compliments the bright (brilliant) chrome accents of the upper grille frame and headlight ballasts. Accesspeed also offers a Lifetime Warranty on it, as well. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you.

To be honest, I haven't tried the smooth ones in this particular case, but I do have a preference for the matte for that reason. I like to reduce the chances the phone will slip out of my hand.

If you're referring to the blade mine was not coated. It's came with a satin finish. The handle scales are black g10 so that is probably what it's referring to.

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.

We actually have one chrome and one satin nickel - two different bathrooms. To me, the satin nickel looks the same as the "stainless steel" by Delta. I like both and really like this shower model and it's price too. The satin nickel is better at not showing water spots due to "satin" finish versus the shinny chrome.

They are very similar, but I think the satin is a little more reflective(with tiny shiny specks). Personally, I prefer the semi-matte.

I love & use Avery products; prefer them to others. The textured stock appears more professional with a warmer feel. Try them & see for yourself!

I haven't used one yet...to be honest I think I will prefer the 'look' it will eventually achieve over the years. You can email the Dekoteak company themselves--they respond quickly and are super nice to deal with. Good luck!

This product is finished with a protective coating that looks and feels slick with an easy grip. The texture is smooth and polished but it will not move around on flat surfaces.

Hi,brushed vs. polished,im afraid that dictionary doesnt give me the cognitive meaning, but i think its close to brushed stanless steel. if u can afford to elaborate the difference of them a bit more, i will follow up.

Yes, it seems to be a true powder-coated finish. Very slick and easy to clean, at least for the few months I've had them.

I used this product on pebble tile. So that isn't really slippery. I did use it on some flat tile, and when I used a second coat, it flaked up white which was very dissapointing. I'm not sure what it will do for slate, which is slippery. Perhaps finds a product that is specific for slate tile and will discourage the slate from being slick. What that would be, I do not know.

I can't say since I've never tried the slicks. Since I ride all year round I wanted some tread to handle any wet weather and packed gravel terrain. The Vitoria website has a matrix for their tire varieties that shows the strengths and weaknesses of their line.
