Hey guys. I carry a streamlight stylus pro clipped aside my knives. I usually carry 3 in my EDC rotation. My large carbon fiber sebenza 21, my cabelas d2 griptilian and my black on black spyderco military. The latter two obviously don't show the flashlight rubbing on them, but I don't want to rub it off on my sebenza and have it look trashed. I like the look of use but rub marks are ugly lol. I carry the light clipped in the outermost part of my pocket to the left of my griptilian, or to the right of my military (so it doesn't rub on the spines of the blade). How about a sebenza?
 
I'm not sure how to exactly clean it. But I do know that I have received a lot of scratch marks from my wedding ring rubbing against my sebenza while digging in my pocket. I can only imagine having something in your pocket to rub all the time. I have read some guys stone washing their scales, might be worth a try if you are worried about it. You probably know this already but you could send it in to CRK for a spa treatment. Might be a pain to keep sending it in every few weeks though, yeah maybe not a good suggestion.
 
A trashed Sebenza is a loved Sebenza. The only way is to use it, let it get a lot of trashed scratches and character, send it back for refurbishment, repeat.

I don't mind memory marks but not marks in which I could have purposely avoided and now have to look at. I'll figure it out :-). Maybe I'll drop my microstream in my pocket instead.
 
Just took the clip off the microstream I have instead and put it in the bottom of my pocket. Problem solved.
