Vince I guess the way I look at it is that it is a beautiful knife and I love to carry/fondle it. It does get the little swirl marks in the bolsters from being in my pocket but to me that is a very small price to pay to get to carry perfection with me everyday. I do realize, and understand, why people don't carry them and that is very much so their choice. I can not/would not fault anyone for that but for me I guess I went the other way. The only real issue is always having to wipe the drool off of it when I show it to other guys. Lol.
Oh and by the way.....stop torturing us with pics of the stag western. Lol. Just kidding buddy, I love looking at that thing. You are a lucky man with that one.
