WHat is better the white or black? Is the white too slippery? Is the black just black finish over silver metal plating?

I have not picked up the white version, but the black finish has a subtle texture that does provide a very decent grip. I don' know about black finish over silver plating versus some other combo of materials

What is better is a person preference. The white is a glossy slicker finish. The black one has a grainier grippy finish. I dont know if it is over silver metal plating or not. I own each (one for daughter and one for son).

I owned silver S100. The Black S110 feels better. The grainier grippy finish is a nice description. Back is more stylish though personal preference.

Looks more like a dull chrome yeah silver color but anything like a brushed or polished nickel. I think it's made of a zinc Alloy. But the of work well and look good!!!

Robert, are you talking about the area that is silver (the sharpened area)? Because I looked at mine closely just now and what I didn't notice when I first got it was that on mine the silver part seems to have a clear coating on it. I'm not sure of what, but it seems like tiny bubbles or debris in the clear coating. The black metal part of mine has one or two tiny pits but thats about it. Maybe contact the seller and swap it out?

the basic one is metal/silver and black. There are newer models in white and other colors

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.

I didn't get a chrome finish. It was more of a silver and when I tried to use gloss clear coat it went bad. It could have been the material I was painting. Try a test piece of material to see what reaction you get. Mike

If I had to choose another finish to go with brushed nickel, I would go with stainless steel. It will be drabber than the brushed nickel, but not too much of a difference.

I had purchased the black one in the past for a previous camper and the sides are black but the middle bar is aluminum/silver finish. The white one that I just purchased had the same aluminum/silver finish in the middle.

I also wanted to add that the white one comes in polished and brushed. If you want the polished one, it's item #PBF454Y-CHW-CP (it says that it's chrome in the description). The white with brushed metal is #PBF454Y-W-C.

Is yours that black and more of a shiny chrome? I don't think the black and gray would look good. Go with an all black set of grips. I have the black and gray grips on a custom painted Springfield Operator that's black. They look awesome. But the dark gray against that chrome, just don't see it.

The white are not shiny, but the black are. I don't know the friction coefficient.

Absolutely a must, arctic silver is better than the white kind, but I suppose as long as you have something there to transfer the heat from cpu to heat sink it should be ok

One review said something about white, even though I'm not sure what they were talking about, but this one is black. I just received mine yesterday. I haven't used it yet, but it appears to be the the same as the black and silver. Edit: All black, blue LED light, works fine for me.

I believe all the specifications are the same. The difference is the color/finish of the metal. So, which ever you prefer!

The website I looked at shows the matte white/silver. I don't have that one. I have a gloss finish like shown on amazon.
