Any coating will eventually wear on surfaces that are subjected to repeated contact, typically 'points and edges' and I knew this before having the DLC applied.

That said, this is an incredibly wear-resistant finish with these signs of wear developing very slowly over the past ten years, despite the constant use and taking some hits that I assumed would have broken it...does makes a rattling sound when a wiggle my wrist but doesn't seem to affect the function.

Very cool!
