Not sure if this has been done before. If it has, please forgive me. I searched but didn’t come up with anything specific, mostly personal opinions on aesthetics.
GEC knives-
Wood scales vs Bone scales...
Which one holds up better for daily use over time? Which one is more durable, sturdy, and less likely to chip/crack/break? Which one is more valuable thus less likely to be used extensively? (Over all, general to all wood vs all bone used by GEC, if there is a huge variation between one type of wood to another or one type of bone to another please specify)
I understand there are a number of factors I am not considering because I cannot currently think of them (I’m not new here
), but I am asking for general use, in the pocket every day, being used for tasks suitable for a traditional knife. I go from the warehouse to the farm, so the conditions vary significantly (hence my asking about “over all” durability).
Curious to see the results and responses. Real world experience is certainly appreciated.
