Polished

Surface finish

  • Abrasion resistance

    High

    Resists daily use even with active dogs. The surface holds its original appearance for a long time, even when in contact with straps, snaps or other hard surfaces.

  • Corrosion protection

    None

    The finish does not increase corrosion resistance. Either the underlying material does not need it, or the finish is purely aesthetic.

  • Nickel

    No

    The finish contains no nickel in any layer. A safe choice for allergy sufferers and for products intended for direct contact with sensitive skin.

  • Aging

    Gradually dulls

    Over time loses its original gloss and the tone changes slightly. This does not affect function, but the surface eventually does not look as fresh as at the start.

Process Mechanical Surface is modified physically — by grinding, polishing or brushing. Adds no extra layer; only changes the structure and texture of the material surface itself.

How polishing is made

Mechanical polishing to a high shine – no added layer, just a refined material surface.

What it gives the product

A mirror shine in the material's own colour: silver on stainless steel, golden on brass, bronze on bronze.

When to choose it and when not to

Materials that don't need protection: stainless steel, brass, bronze. Fingerprints and micro-scratches show up more on a shine – brushing is the more muted option.

How it ages

Everyday wear slowly turns the shine into a fine satin; on brass the patina works alongside it too.

What it pairs with

Classic leather goods – shine and smooth leather are a timeless combination.
