Just looking at the BSBB pics in the WWAYWT thread, and I know some people having multiple pieces, they might get low rotation on the BS models, so I was wondering...

How well have they held up? Have you dinged the BS? If so, how hard did you have to hit/bag/scratch it?

Would you consider it for a daily?

Thank you gentlemen!

I've said previously that I dinged the rider tab and you can see steel through it. I have also noticed wear in high rub areas like the edge of the buckle. Obvious statement, but mine's not a daily wearer.

Pic Roff? I remember you mentioning it I do believe...

I wonder if you can get those odds and ends; perhaps even the case replaced when it goes in for service, or is the coating not going to stand up for the long haul as a daily...

In had a SABS for two years, wore it all the time and it held up like a champ. The diamond-like coating truly is diamond-like.

There in lye's my bigest problem with BS. To me, and its JMO, it feels a bit like "gold Plated" small print!

All BS's look super though.
