I've got an FRN Endura that's over 12 years old, and it's holding up great! I've used it a ton and the handles are honestly still about as good as a brand new model... Albeit, somewhat dirtier.
I don't know if it is used in a mass-produced knife, but I use corian as a handle in some of the knives I make. Great material. It absorbs some shock, is not affected by water and is fire resistant. Incredibly durable.
Edit: Has anyone ever tried to print and use a handle on a 3D printer?
My mother had a Corian countertop installed in her kitchen about 25 years ago and has seen daily use since then. It still looks nearly new. That stuff is incredibly durable.Corian is quite common with custom makers in my country as a substitute for bone. Its original intended use was for kitchen counter tops if I remember correctly.
