Hank said the ano wears like regular ano.
I’m not entirely convinced, ano is a surface coating that is harder than the aluminum substrate…
On Ti I think it’s an etching where the distance between ‘etches’ affects the color reflected that we see. I bet an ano Ti knife guy would know more definitively…
Titanium anodization wears off extremely fast compared to a properly anodized aluminum surface. Tiny, long scratches called snail trails will show up almost immediately after being handled. Maybe it will hold up a little bit better on the body where the surface isn’t 100% smooth.
The colors will also fade when in contact with skin oils, but will restore once cleaned.
I was surprised to see that 26350 tubes for Emisar D4S and D4SV2 were shown as available in all colors. I emailed Hank and he confirmed that green and cyan were really in stock.
I will finally have a 26350 tube for my green Emisar D4S that I purchased a year and a half ago, before 26350 tubes were available.
