The Ayoob had almite handles. Once it's really scratched, there's no easy fix that's permanent. If this is coming from a dealer, he's likely had it awhile. Ask him what can be done about the scratches ... If he can't answer that one ...

The Ayoob only came with almite handles, BUT....there were two types of almite used. The earlier was a very slick almite similar to that on the Almite Navigator, it's pretty hard to scratch due to it's slickness, but it can be slippery in the hand. Later models have an almost matte finished almite, which while much grippier, scratches very easily. I have one of the later models, and it's handle definitely shows it's use.
If you want it as a collectible, I'd pass on it, if you want it as a user, by all means grab that display model, as you'll likely be able to get a good deal on it.
