I suggest the use of a nylon sheath. This not only minimizes the scuffing of the Ti scales, but will absolutely prevent you from cutting yourself when your knife is in your pocket. The ones that AZCK carry are really high quality, and can be carried horizontally or vertically, if you put them on your belt. A further advantage is the protection of the knife from pocket lint.
Too much trouble for you? Well, OK, but just remember the rule of the ER doc: the definition of a minor hand laceration is one on someone else's hand! Walt
