Cocobolo as handle material?

[Naphtali]

Please compare the durability and ease of maintenance of cocobolo as handle material with Micarta® and stabilized woods.

Less because it's not plastic. Also you need to be very careful not to inhale the toxic dust. But it looks great.

I have many cocobolo handled knives
they are beautiful and warm to hold
no maintenance
