Does the blade color effect performance?

I am at a loss to understand how the blade color could possibly affect the unit's performance which, by the way, is very ineffective.

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.

I have not had any problems with either. It does make a louder noise when sharpening but that is to be expected. I have used this a few time and have been happy with the results.

The blade color is brown very similar to the photo. It is extremely quiet and great air flow. Easy to install.

Pretty much aside from color and the blade. The 5 Star Detailers come with the t-wide blade and Sterling Definitions come with the 5 Star std blade. Both have rotary motors

yes, but the blade itself leaves a small amt of streaking so I wouldn't buy this again.

The blade is made of carbon steel - not stainless steel. Carbon steel is generally easier to sharpen and holds a better edge. The down side is that it requires one more step to finish after usage. You will need to wipe a thin application of either mineral oil or vegetable oil on it to prevent rusting. For me the trade off is worth it as I prefer carbon steel. You can renew that blade to near original look by polishing it with a very fine grade of sandpaper or emery cloth. Even a scotch brite pad will go a long way to brighten the blade. You still finish with mineral oil. Good luck, they are fine blade of the "old school" of manufacture at a reasonable price. The blade is made of carbon steel - not stainless steel.

yes, the sensors need to "see" the club, so an unusual color or finish might not be picked up. I believe they provide a special tape just in case. I didn't have a problem with cast stainless dull finish steel irons at a Taylor Made R6 driver.

Yes. I've only had to sharpen mine once so far. Puts it back to its original sharpness. Agree, with RWG, just love this knife.

Yes that is what I got though the color of the blades are misleading because I got black blades instead of silver as shown

I don't know of a reason that it would makes a difference. I've got both and they're both great. The black one shown here is like one I have that I use for grinding herbs and it's perfect. Doesn't show stains like the light gray marble one I have, if that makes a difference to you.

Generally speaking, yes, but it will change the rotation speed(s) of the blades. Probably not significantly though.

It may be under options by the purchase link. Like color or blade type. If you are seeking a precise color combo or custom check out the benchmade site and pay 120$ for pretty much the exact multi color 556 or murdered out one.

I've seen it done on both sides. I tend to do it on the rough side of a scrap piece of leather, that way there is no chance of the curing/smoothing process of the leather affecting blades. People who have used the smooth side have told me they prefer the rough side as well.

I do believe the colors are meant to match the blenders collar and there is no difference in performance. Hope that answers your question.

Looks like the difference is a coating on the blade. Is it worth it?...you decide. I find the 9154 adequate for my occasional bouts in the garden.

No, the blade is not white but rather a really light grey/silver which I refer to as 'frosted steel/silver'. Which is as true to the anime as it can get while still being functional.
