Nothing has happened to the handle that has any affect on utility. For that matter, I don't think that anything has significantly affected its appearance.
A knife made with good steel and well cared for will last an incredibly long time. That is especially true if the owner will utilize a steel to straighten the edge on a frequent basis. If one does not use a steel, but rather sharpens every time the edge doesn't seem sharp enough a lot of metal will eventually be worn away. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: No splitting or breaking off the tang, though - normal wear and tear? I still have my old Boy Scout sheath knife kicking around here somewhere. Also a handy do-all size. Stacked leather handle, aluminum pommel and a smaller Bowie-like clip point blade. It has seen abuse like only a preteen boy can give it but it still keeps on tickin'! Stu |
