Well, when I was looking at the First Blood Brother, I noticed you can buy it with a grind finish or polish. I’m assuming the grind finish is naturally better for grinding, but is there any other major difference?
(Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I didn’t know where to put it ;D )

Yes, the grind finish means it has a smooth blasted finish to make it easier to grind. Polished finish is shiny, but if you try to grind it will want to run up your arm more (kind of like grinding with a plastic yoyo). Don’t get me wrong you will still be able to grind with a polished finish though.

All ya need is a glove to grind with a polished yoyo, or a plastic.
