Gen III is made up of a special formulation that offers the best wear resistance and corrosion protection known to date. Wear is significantly improved over traditional oxide bluing, and is even better than older chemistry polymers. Wear is still possible, and nothing will PREVENT wear, but you will find that wear will occur slower than bluing, and Gen III will outperform other polymers in a Taber abrasion test. Gen III has a 9H hardness test which is maximum for this scale.
