The ones I use, shown above, are the ones available from World Market. I mainly use Key Limes, so my green one gets the most wear. There is no real wear on the hinge pin, but the acid from the fruit does take its toll on the ceramic surface over time. Washing the juice off immediately after use prevents any real deterioration. After years of use, the original shiny surface on mine is now slightly dull. That's it; otherwise, good as new.
