G10 is very tough and it is harder than micarta, and it might be lighter. But canvas and linen micarta are the toughest handle material I know of.
Off topic but it seems Spyderco is switching to MAP....only putting out the info cause I know certian Busse fans are also Spyderco fans.

I saw that earlier, seems like it will hurt their sales IMO
Nah, I don't think so. Many retailers already put things like, "prices to low to advertise" and you must add to cart to see the price. I figure they will be doing that with spyderco.
