Cut into anodized aluminum, the edges of the pattern catch light differently than the flats, and the blue reads lighter along the ridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Acid Wash\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn acid wash eats into the surface of the steel in an uneven pattern instead of polishing it flat, so the blade comes out mottled and hides wear well. It is the finish that looks best after a year of carry rather than on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVero and Pro-Tech\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVero builds knives with a design language people recognize across a room, and the Synapse is the shape that made that true.
