The shiny TiSpine and fingerprints! You know, two of my only complaints about the polished TiSpine were the fact that it was so darn slippery and that it was a fingerprint magnet. Well, today, I solved that problem. While applying some Renaissance Wax to some of my ivory inlay knives .... I decided to try a coat on the entire surface of of the TiSpine (polished gold). I knew that Ren Wax prevented most fingerprints from showing, but only occasionally used on blades .... normally those that I never intend on using. Anyway, after applying a coat to the entire surface of the TiSpine, I noticed two things. First, fingerprints were reduced to the point of being unnoticeable. Secondly, the Ren Wax actually gave the surface of the frame some grab ..... it wasn't nearly as slippery. Being highly polished as it is, it still is more slippery than a matte/blasted frame .... but the extra grab (for lack of a better term) was quite noticeable.
