All of my knives have been purchased to last my lifetime and to serve my heirs when I'm finished with them.
My confidence level of this occurring is very high due to the quality of my collection.
Except for those knives with Kraton inserts.
This stuff is either "wonder stuff" or "wonder blunder".
I guess I have contempt on the longivity of any rubber based product because I have witnessed deterioration even over my lifetime. Pachmayer grips for guns loose their pliability and harden within 10 years.
No big deal because you can always purchase and install replacements.
Not so with Kraton inserts.
Is there anything I can do (or avoid) to promote longivity ?
I generally try to avoid this stuff completely.
Thanks, Bill
