Does the finish on the rainbow colored knife easily chip off or get scratched?

The edge of the knife is already silver. The blade has a baked on coating and is not dark steel through and through. After some use, the coating on my knife is wearing off in places.

I've had my knife for about 2 months and carry it clipped in the pocket with my keys. No wear so far. The blade and handle have the same coating. I use mine primarily for cutting cardboard and have shown virtually no ware at all on the blade. Holds a edge too.

Unfortunately, yes the color does scratch off easily and the silver stainless steel shows through.

I have been using mine for about two months now with no scratching issue. I think the only way you could scratch a knife with this is to pull it straight down, dragging it along the surface instead of just pulling it off. This is wood, but smooth and finely finished.

I've had this knife rack for some time now for my high-end knife set and haven't had any issues with blade damage. The magnet is padded with thin strips of silicone rubber, so it won't cause scratches to the blades. Plus, I think the angled design is safer when replacing the knives onto the bar. This costs a pretty penny, but it's well worth it!

well i bought these knife back in december of last year and they are as sharp as the day i bought them, (yr later) my husband stands very firm on Chicago cutlery knifes, some time down the road u will need them sharpened.my husband used a wet stone and it worked great. after 15 yrs still going strong. know you asked if the color will scrape off i can't honestly answer that, because i haven't sharpened these color one's yet... but im thinking that the color will come off because it is only the top surface that is color coated to match the handle. ( but only the part that is sharpened) hope this help you in any way, god bless you and your family at this thanksgiving time and also have a very merry christmas....tammy

Don't know how easily it scratches, mine arrived without scratches and i havent deliberately tried to scratch it to find out what it stands up to, however there was some paint transfer from the ink on the cardboard packing materials to the frosting, I believe it will come out, otherwise I will have a pink rimmed bowl around the bottom.

I thought about getting the coating on my knife when I purchased it, but decided not to after some research that the coating will come off after some use. With a little care, the non-coating knife will last a lifetime and still look good.

The edge of the blade is stainless to begin with. If you're not careful you could take the color off higher up.

I've had mine for several years and its still like new but I do give it proper care always washing it by hand and towel drying immediately after use and never in a dishwasher or left dirty or soaking in a sink. Great knife!

No, quite the opposite, the kitchen has held up extremely well. It's great quality, well made. The material used isn't really prone to scratches or chips, so I wouldn't worry about that.

I've had my KitchenAid mixer for years now (brushed nickel color) and no scratches- still looks new (and yes, I do use it!)

I've had quite a few stockman knives (all Case) and every one has had the same scratches. I love this pattern anyhow, in spite of that.

Is anyone using any protective layer to prevent the knives from being scratched (like spray enamel, or scotch tape, or some other transparent material)?

I've been using mine daily for about five months now and I see no visible scratches. I have ice cubes and almonds and nuts whirring in there regularly, and those are fairly hard items, but remember it's stainless steel. Think about what has to scratch that. All that said, the surface is not 100% pristine, there is some slight discoloration, but I'm assuming that could be cleaned. (Think about how stainless steel silverware discolors over time.) In fact, I'd love some advice on how to better clean this thing. Anyway, hope all this helps!

The quality is top notch and Mil Spec. That is the bottom line. I am former Spec Forces myself and used that exact knife, but it mysteriously "vanished" from my gear inventory before I got out years back. I wouldn't worry about the blade. It is supposed to get scratched, but it won't happen from the sheath. Moreover, I even took some steel wool to mine to take off the finish and also keep it oiled, and engraved my initials and last four of the base. So the blade is not any problem. Thanks.
