The tang pin will dig into the tang cups over time, and that will be noticed by the handles not locking open well, and the kicker on the blade (right behind the choil) will eventually dig into the inside of the channel, which results in poor lockup closed.

Both are unavoidable, but won't happen for many many years. The best way to prolong the wear its to not latch the knife closed/open for extended periods of time....
