Been EDCing my new 21 for a month or so and it no longer looks new... it's gaining character. The Ti scales are a bit marred, but the stonewashed blade (now resharpened several times) hardly looks touched. Took it camping down to Glacier National Park last week, and used it to cut cord, packaging, tape, for food prep, whittling kindling and cutting hot dog sticks. Touched it up with the DMT fine hone once or twice to keep it scary sharp; no problems with chipping. Love that S35VN. When I got home I hosed it off with hot water from the tap, shook it dry and lubed it with a drop or two of BreakFree. I made a case for belt carry but find it more accessible clipped to a pocket. On a 10-mile hike it never budged from my shorts pocket, and it's also easy to slip IWB when necessary. A superb piece of design.
