InnosintI've had mine for 9 months now and the finish has not worn at all (except for one scratch from when I stupidly threw it in my pocket with my keys). I do recommend spending the $10 extra and buying the leather carrying pouch for it. Worth mentioning is that I treat all my accessories like a baby and make sure nothing happens to them. If you are really rough with it, results will be as expected. I treat mine as a luxury item, not so much like a tool.
