Just curious how everyone's is holding up ? I was a little skeptical at first but mine has held up well for the little use it's seen.
 
Can't believe that someone replied I was starting to think that people on this forum don't actually use their SK 's lol
 
The way my GSO-5.1 looks today - apologies for the poor lighting, sky is overcast this morning. The darks spots you see are dirt/sap that I haven't scrubbed out of the finish - I am not overly concerned with how my outdoor tools look, so long as the continue performing as needed. The shiny/white parts are where the finish has been scraped by metal or rock, and I cannot detail whether it is more the result of the finish rubbing down or the extraneous material being rubbed in since the edges of the jimping, which were intentionally abraded with a hone to soften the edges, are not as shiny as those marks on the blade:
