I've already managed to damage the finish. Only thing I can think of is it rubbed against some nail clippers in the "coin pocket" through a hole. Bummer. It's pretty minor to the point I had trouble getting pictures to show it properly, so it's not a huge deal. It's a tool anyway.
That said, the finish DOES look just as pretty blue as the pics :)
The blade came pretty sharp. Not razor shave your arm hair and slice paper like butter sharp, but certainly dangerously sharp and to be respected.
The knife is very sturdy. Nothing wiggles or feels loose on it at all. It flicks open with a solid THOCK! that I really like. I wish it had something other than a line lock, but it does the job, certainly. Just tricky to close one-handed, though it can be done.
