using our saw cut anodizing process - just without the step that makes them shiny. They are made using the same dyes as the shiny saw cut anodized - BUT do not expect the colors to match. The extra step that makes them shiny changes the color. The colors are considered complimentary - not the same - see main image for details. The larger rings in the image are the bright anodized for comparison. The ends are not anodized.
