I was wondering which of the following scale materials are generally considered more durable :
Stone vs Bone/Antler vs Wood,

At some point I want to get a folder with one of these materials.

Thanks much for your thoughts.
 
They are all vulnerable in some way, it just depends what happens. I've dropped a bone handled knife and taken a large chip out of the handle, stone is equally vulnerable if dropped on a hard surface. Wood, depending on the species and whether or not it is stabilized, can crack, dent, or scratch. I've never carried a stag handled knife so can't help there.
