That's probably why they make subdued versions of some backplates like the American flag, and their X-Carve come in Blackout cerakote finish, too. Not everyone likes the flash of Solid 18 Karat Gold or hand-forged MokuTi Titanium Damascus either for the same reason, but will instead buy the regular engraved backplates. By the way, when you buy a MokuTi backplate you get the exact same one shown in the pictures. They aren't just example pictures of typical MokuTi backplates. The majority of them are in the X-Carve design, but they have a few plain ones left.
