I thought that was the whole appeal. A well broken in Sebenza is even nicer to its owner than a new one out the box.

The only reason someone keeps a knife in "NIB" condition is in consideration of resale value.
In my estimation, sir, you have improved the life of this fine cutting tool.
Continue to enjoy the knife guilt free. Let the people that handle your estate sale worry about "condition issues".
You have a beautiful and well loved high-quality knife on your hands. Many should be so lucky.

It doesn’t look like you’ll get top dollar for it, so you might as well continue to use it and enjoy it. After all, something gave you the urge to carry it. A Question or two, do you regret using it ?, has it brought a smile to your face ?

I like it better. I only have one “safe queen” (
Lone_Wolfe
knows the one), but have a couple Damascus blades that get used all the time. The etching does wear away, but in a way that appeals to me.
An unused knife, even a safe queen, is a sad knife sometimes. I fully understand the collecting aspect, but you also gotta pay yourself in joy sometimes. Having a gorgeous Damascus CRK Regular in your pocket to use on a daily basis is worth more than any wear and tear on the knife. I’m jealous!
As (somewhat rudely) stated elsewhere: not using your knife to preserve resale is like not having sex with your girlfriend/boyfriend so they are more appealing to their next partner. Or for the prudes, not driving your Ferrari so it doesn’t rack up miles.
This is great video on the subject:

I haven't seen that safe queen in a while,
I do have safe queens myself, and I love taking pics of their pristine beauty. Works of art. Since the knife in the OP is brethren to this pair, I'll use them as examples. When it comes time to sell these, I want them in the same condition I got them in.

You deserve some safe queens. I know you have a couple unique beauties that hit the pavement too.
