Opinions on large Box Elder inlay..

Hi all,

Considering a large box elder inlay glass blasted NON polished blade.. Do these really 'need' the polished blade or is the stonewashed really nice with it too?

This is my first CRK so looking to do it right. Probably won't be my last, but want this one to be a keeper. I also in Canada so these aren't cheap up here.

Thanks!
