I noticed that my silver alox knife is getting a tad scuffed. Question: are the silver alox SAKs painted with silver paint?

No, they are anodized, an electro-chemical process.

*facepalm* I should have realized that.
Ah, so the anodizing is getting scuffed. Oh well, I guess I'll have to embrace the “patina”.

Plants should be smoked, not eaten.

We call it patina.
The Japanese have a better term: wabi-sabi
