Titanium handle wearing?

[Legenda]

So I have a bradley mayhem, and the handle is starting to show light marks of wear. Is this from handling it or oiling the titanium handles every day?

Titanium alloy used in knife handles is very strong & tough (resists breakage to a great degree), but not very hard or abrasion-resistant, as compared to steel. Doesn't take much to scuff or scratch it, so I'd assume you're just seeing some handling marks on it. I doubt oiling it would have any effect at all, in terms of it's finished appearance.

Depends on the finish but it is very tough. Consider a Sebbie that will show some scuffs and scratches easily. A crazy texture finish like a ZT 0561 wont really show at all..

You can get the handles reblasted with sand or beads, as well as stonewashing

I may have benchmade do that when it gets really bad.
