ive heard that anodizing will fade over time with use. if anodizing was performed to a very high wear area like a pocket clip, would it rub off sort of like a ti coated blade or would the color just gradually fade?

The annodization will wear off.
Titanium anodization is less than 5 millionth of an inch thick. You can remove it with rubbing compound. However, you can re-anodized titanium if you have the right power supply with relative ease compared to the more difficult process for aluminum.
Aluminum anodization is thicker but it too will wear off.
