I gave you extremely detailed recipe to figure it out, which would work regardless of your hone or skills, but if you instead insist on a completely irrelevant answer just pick 'you should see striations', or 'you shouldn't see striations' and either would be just as relevant. Instead of wasting people's time you could do it with a coin flip.

Sorry for wasting your time. I had tried what you suggested long before your post. The pattern of the scratch marks definitely changed. Sorry for my stupid questions. You are so clever.
