"rough"??

I guess their idea of "primitive" is CNC machined and finished in an antique patina...?

I like it and if it does what it was intended to do, then that's all tha matters really, isn't it?

What kind of saw blade was used?

 Some people just need "shiney" to attract compliments. It looks good to me.

Probably from a person who is too "polished" for their own good.  That is a really cool knife and a great design.  It's all about utility.
