Merle your right, the higly polished finish helps to keep them from getting rusted or start to pit. I wouldn't use WD-40, it is stinky and makes everything orange, ya know it is made from little fish .

Well my Cape Forge Knife came yesterday and I absolutely love it.

Here are some reference pictures for you, the rope there is 1/4" thick for a size scale. From a Black Bear, looks like your new knives are working great.
