Lionsteel Dom wood scales

[EagleIH]

Hi folks,

I’m considering a Lionsteel Dom, and I generally prefer natural scale materials, especially wood. I don’t normally baby my pocket knives too much. I let them ride in the same pocket as keys and change and whatever. Which wood would hold up better under these conditions, olive or ebony? Are these woods stabilized? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Neither are stabilized. Ebony would be a bit harder than Olive; but both are going to show marks fighting with keys/change.
