ZT 0777 M390 Poll: Stonewashed or DLC (Limited)?

Question: Mine came with a 1 1/2" mark on the blade. Not real noticeable but it is there. Any tips on cleaning it off the DLC. I'm sure it will come off. Just don't want to dull the coating.

Not a user I assume? Safe queen?

Are any of these going to be users?
 
I plan on using it lightly. :) I'd just rather be the one to mark it rather than having it come that way. Hey... The mark might just push me over the edge to use it more. ;)
 
I was one of the last 3 to get in on the 7's. Thanks Matt. Sweet blade and light in the pocket. Excellent fit and finish. Thanks Kai/ZT.

DLC will be less prone to scratches in use, but it's more limited than the stonewashed version. Sounds like a tossup to me.
 
I broke down and got a DLC version. It'll be a user once I get around to sharpening it. I got to say though, the detents on all these 0777s are very light. I'm not happy about that. Makes it a relatively poor flipper compared to, say, the 0801. Still, it's very pretty.
 
When I first saw pics of the DLC version, I thought I wanted it. However, the more I look at my stonewashed version, the more I like the contrast of blade v. handle. Still very nice either way you go.
