Banged up? lol
You've got some learning to do buddy, you'll be hard pressed to bang that mod up and have it be noticeable. The only blemishes on mine are little scratches on the end cap.
Yeah, i know its nearly impossible to scratch it up or anything like that, especially the Black Satin... but i dont want to take any chances. And yes im confident enough in the durability of this thing to feel as if (as someone else said) it could be used as a billy club lol
