Strider knives bead blast VS.Anodized Ti

[zknives1815]

Ive been looking at Strider Knives and really like the look of the anodized Ti but does it hold up over time as well as the bead blast? what would be better for an EDC knife?

I thought the anodized titanium was just bead blasted titanium that somebody took a blowtorch to?

If your going to edc it, it will get scratched up. Used items eventually looked used. Until they develop steel that heals itself, this will be a law of all blades. Some do age better than others but after a couple years of edc any knife will looked used assuming you actually use it.
