That ruler has lines just painted on the steel ribbon, without grooves (no idea how to call that in English)? How well the paint keeps on?

There are grooves - I can feel them when I glide a fingernail across it. I've had that thing in the thigh pocket of my work pants for about a decade.

I'd say grooves is a valid term.

But how are you sure that there aren't any? I feel it's difficult to tell just by looking at the picture...
