I think it's always nice to see how stuff holds up over time.
Here is my Shaman now. It's been getting alot of pocket time.



I can't remember what I was doing that caused the wear on the DLC but it's only on the left side.

The pocket clip seems to have a parkerized finish.



The coating on the pivot hardware wore very fast.

That looks like a very well-used knife!

Looking at your Shaman makes me want one very badly, even though I know it is a bit bigger than I usually prefer to carry. I think I must exercise some patience and wait for a sprint/exclusive to drop though. Also it has me thinking that I wish Spyderco would contour the G10 handles on the Para3 just like the Shaman...

Have you tried polishing it off yet? Most of the scratches I've had on DLC were actually material transfer/rub off from what I was cutting and with a little Flitz or other gentile polishing compound I got almost all of it off.

I have actually, those scuffs are there to stay, they are below the coating not on top of it.
