Abrasive blasting creates a textured, generally matte surface; texture depends on the media and processing conditions.
What it is
Sandblasting fires fine, sharp abrasive grit at a metal surface under air pressure. Each impact leaves a microscopic dent, and together they create a uniform matte texture. Bead blasting is a close cousin: it uses round glass beads, which leave a smoother, more satin surface.
How it feels in your EDC
A sandblasted piece feels dry and slightly textured under your fingertips, which many people find grippy. The matte surface scatters light instead of reflecting it, giving a clean, understated, tool-like look. It also tends to hide fingerprints and small marks better than a polished surface.
Care & aging
With daily handling, high-contact edges can slowly burnish to a soft sheen while recessed areas stay matte, creating a natural wear pattern that shows how you carry it. Skin oils may darken the texture slightly; wipe it with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid polishing compounds, which can smooth the texture away for good.

是什么
喷砂(Sandblasting)是用压缩空气把细小尖锐的砂粒喷射到金属表面。每次撞击都会留下微小凹坑,汇集成均匀的哑光纹理。玻璃珠喷砂(Bead blasting)与它相近,但使用圆形玻璃珠,表面更光滑、更接近缎面。
上手感受
喷砂作品指尖触感干爽、略带纹理,很多人觉得更防滑。哑光表面散射光线而非反射,呈现干净、低调、工具般的外观。它也比抛光表面更能掩盖指纹和小痕迹。
保养与老化
日常把玩后,常接触的边缘会慢慢被磨出柔和光泽,而凹陷处保持哑光,形成能反映你携带习惯的自然磨损。皮肤油脂可能让纹理略微变深,用干燥的超细纤维布擦拭即可。避免使用抛光剂,它会永久磨平纹理。
