Decorated sebenza questions

[Starfish]

Hi all,

I've got an opportunity to buy a small decorated (unique), and I'm trying to make a decision between getting that or a small classic. This will be my only Sebenza for a while (at least a year or two!).

Here's the questions:
(1) Does CRK refurbish these as well? Make everything look like new, or is that even possible?
(2) How well do the decorateds hold up to pocket carry?
(3) Does the polished side hold up well, even after occasionally nasty environments? By that I mean, is it a simple matter of stripping, cleaning, and reassembly, or does it call for a trip back to the manufacturer?

Thanks for the help!

Matthew

Matthew, here are a couple of threads that might help, one is here on Blade Forums and the other is a dusty old one from 1998 so treat the dollars that Anne quotes in that respect, they might have gone up a little since then...perhaps Anne might address it here?
