I just bought a new pair of Levi's and after carrying my Seb in them for 1 day, I noticed little blue stains on the handle. They're faint, but they're there. I'm kinda having a hard time getting it off. Don't know if you guys have had this problem, I'm just throwing it out here to let you guys know about it. Sorry for the crotch shot.

I've never had that happen. Usually just a brass rub mark from the pocket rivet. There's quite a few threads if you decide you want to touch it up. I just look at it as character marks and drive on.
 
Normal wear and tear...adds character. I wear black shorts as part of my work uniform and when I first got my Umnumzaan I had the same issue. My CRKs are glass blasted by me now so none of that shows up.
 
I like to take it apart and wash it with dish washing soap, have you tried that yet.
 
Its not just levis but any jeans that arent pre washed that will cause that type of staining. Which is basically any pair of jeans that cost more than a bill. No worries though, soap and water will get it off in seconds. Just make sure you rub hard with your finger tips.
 
That's called crocking. It will easily come off with soap and a toothbrush.
 
I agree, this happens with just about every new pair of jeans I have had. It will wash off with soap and water or you can use a bit of zippo fluid or something to help lift it if you need to.

Levis and a Sebenza, I like the way that sounds. The same thing happened with me, i just used some dish soap and It came out with some scrubbing.
 
Matgarsmi -- thats a standard test of a chinese fake sebenza -- called the Levi scrub. Looks like you got a fake...

Mail that sebenza off to me and i'll make sure we track down those counterfeiters.:rolleyes:

ok - joking. I've had the same experience and it wore off with a bit of soap.
 
Now that is funny, I just removed some blue color (although not Lewis) from my Sebenza.
I cleaned it with Ballistol, went off easily.
Never had that before.

$16 Wranglers from Walmart and my Umnumzaan is nice and clean. (I used to have a few pricier pairs of Silver Tabs, but that was 100 pounds ago :D)

Anyway, like everyone says, it's just dye and will come out with some soap and water, an eraser, acetone, or just age. If it were my knife, I'd leave it, because it can't hurt the titanium or permanently stain it in any way, and it'd be fun to watch how various day-by-day carry marks come and go. In fact, someone should make a video where they snap a shot of their same EDC each day and put it together after a year or so to watch the character accumulate. I'd love to see something like that.
