Thoughts on flamed titanium?
(fedia.io)
I just picked up a couple of "flamed titanium" pocket clips, and I love the look of them. I've always been attracted to the blue-on-black color combo for most things I own, and I love the way the color pops on my Vision FG!
I've noticed, however, that even the slightest touch from my fingers will dull the shine and really mutes the color. It comes right back with a simple wipe on the clip with any dry cloth, but it's a little annoying just how well this finish attracts skin oils.
I was thinking about picking up some flamed ti scales to go with this, but after seeing how quickly the color fades after being touched, I'm not sure how I'd feel about an entire handle with that finish.
Me! My front right pocket is for my knife only. Phone, lighter, flashlight, etc. go in other pockets.
Not necessarily so I don't beat up my knife, although sometimes this is so. But more so my knife doesn't beat up everything else.
