Newbie and just completed my first knife!

Hello everyone. Just registered with knife network even though I have been lingering for years. A little background. I am 30 years old and grew up in Missouri. After high school I joined the Marine Corps and ended up in Arizona. Did the college thing for a bit before I decided to get a job doing what I was doing in the Marines. I currently live in Kansas City, MO and I just completed my first knife. The first two I started on went south when I started using a 1x30 belt grinder freehand so I went old school and made a wooden jig like the one Aaron Gough made a video about.

It has its flaws but it cuts stuff so I am happy. I have a question regarding the ivory G10 I used. I am currently using an old sheath for it until I make a custom one out of Kydex. I have noticed that the sheath has left marks on the G10 where the button closure is. I always thought G10 would be a little tougher than that and I am worried that sliding in and out of a kydex sheath will blacken the g10 over time. Will this be an issue?
