Does the anodized aluminum handle on a Leek scratch easily?

[Lucky Strike]

Bought a leek online...got the black anodized aluminum handled one since I found it the best looking of the basic ones. Then I got to thinking that perhaps the black is going to show scratches really badly and I should of gotten the model with the uncolored handle.

Do these things scratch easily?

I do a lot of anodizing, if it is anodized well and sealed it is fairly scrath resistant. If it does scratch just touch it up with a perment marker, I have one knife that I use for about anything that has black anodized bolsters and after two years only has one small scratch.
