I also have Nickel but it isn't as beautiful as yours. mine has tarnished a bit and only shines some. Well it really isn't that bad, but it isn't perfect anymore. It is my pride and joy and my primary CCW. It's heavy and bulky but I don't feel it and no one can see it if I don't want them to see it. I practice with it at the range and clean it well, but it does get used.

So the question that has to be asked. Are you going to look at it or are you going to let it do its job. This is a special tool of high quality. Who will look at it when you are gone. If you want to respect it's beauty you should let it show you what it can do.
