Nitecore EDC23 finish after just two days with keys

My EDC23 already has visible scuffs and discoloration after just two days in a pocket with my keys. I tried wiping it with alcohol, but the marks won’t come off.

For comparison, the TINI 2 in the photos is three years old and has been used heavily. Its finish started wearing almost immediately, and this is how it looks now. I bought the TIP SE at the same time. It’s had a somewhat easier life, but its finish has held up much better.

I really like the EDC23’s form factor and was planning to get an EDC29 next. Then I checked the reviews on Nitecore Store and found a verified buyer reporting that the green coating was coming off the edges in under a month. I’ve included screenshots of that review alongside my photos.

I’m not buying the EDC29 now. This finish durability is a dealbreaker for me.

Scratches are expected when carrying a light with keys, but this much wear in two days is pretty disappointing. Anyone else seeing this on their EDC23 or EDC29?

I do some freelance IT work for a school so I need some advice/suggestions on a bladeless multi-tool or pocket friendly tool system.

Queria poder limpar minha lanterna, tirar a gordura das mãos. Como posso fazer isso sem danifica-la?

Happy Humpday: I have mt Loop Gear SK-07, Kizer Crest S35VN, Wuben G5, Stimagz by Stimara, and Leatherman Arc. Have a great midweek guys. I am really digging the hollow grind on this version.

Picked this up from home depot I think it’s called the husky 300 mini utility light with rotating head.

All the EDC flashlight kits I see are so expensive but this his every one of my needs for $20.
Hat clip, magnet, flood and beam, warm fuzzy light and red led. I liked it so much I ended up buying two

(Also 40% cheaper than a wuben g5 which is similar)

Trying to put together an edc kit, just got my flashlight (Streamlight protac 2-AA-X) now I need a dedicated EDC knife. What knife would yall recommend? A folding or a fixed? I like the folders due to size, but if shit goes south I like the fixed knife. Pls put some good recommendations of folders and fixed blades thanks. SIDE COMMENT/ what the FUCK makes some pocket/ folding knives cost 2-300 bucks? Is there really any difference between a $20 knife and a $200 knife?

Looking to fill this opening in my altoids edc, it’s 2.5x0.5 in in size , I like the idea of a pen/pencil but open to pretty much anything except for any blades/ weapons as this is a school carry.
