those are polished.I have a small unique thats polished and I believe it holds up to scratches better.

Polished Ti vs. bead blasted Ti.

I think I disagree about the scratching though. The polished Ti is worse for that in my experience. Although neither finishes are particularly forgiving.

which do you prefer?

Dan,
I think its more of a question as to whether or not you want a graphic on the handle.

If I could only have one sebenza, it would be a plain because there's always a chance that you will get tired of the graphic.

my pick is more an inlayed one. r you saying thesame applies?

DaveH · May 24, 2006

yep any unique graphic, or wood inlay has polished slabs.

Micarta inlay still has bead blasted sides.

The polished Ti on the sebenza is VERY scratch resistant -- my EDC of 3 years is a unique with the decorated face polished, and the lock side beadblasted Ti. The polished side looks like new with a quick rubdown. The textured side is all scratched up.
