doesn't matter what it is, without lubrication if it rubs there is friction, if there is friction, there is wear. TO one, or both. How much, and how fast varies but wear is part of use.
A friend of mine has two classes of wear. Wear to the finish from being carried, (in a holster, or in your hands -rifle/shotgun), and wear from use he calls "honest wear".
Damage (wear) to the finish from lack of care, being banged into things, dropped, etc. is wear, but its not "honest wear" its "unnecessary wear".
I agree with him. I'm ok with honest wear, not ok with wear from abuse or neglect.
to touch up scratches and such on stainless, Flitz metal polish works, but be sparing, and experiment on something of low value, first.
