Show Me The Wear On Your Matte Black Vanishing Point?

[JemC]

@Quinden I aim to eventually get my VP to the state of yours, hopefully through "all natural" means

So, I got the VP matte black, and really like the heft and the technical feel of the F nib.

 

But I guess I won't get the Wabi Sabi effect with the new finish. It seems very hard ...

That's a good thing. You want the finish on your VP to last. I wonder if Pilot really did anything to make the matte black finish on the VP better and more durable?

Here's mine - it's about 5 years old; I had babied it for a while, and then fell down a flight of concrete stairs with it in my hand. It took a lot of scratches, so I took some sandpaper to it.

 

I hope *you* were ok after that; Replacement parts and finishes for humans are harder to find. The pen looks great though
