Does anyone know which is more durable out of santos and olive wood?

I am wondering which would last longer, I know G-10 / Micarta are essentially bulletproof, but I prefer a traditional wood handle. I can't find much info on santos wood and i've seen some conflicting information about olive wood

Santos wood is a very hard, dense wood Olive is tough too depending on the type of Olive LS use. My M5 in santos is used hard and I've had no problems with it at all. Their handle ergonomics are also great.

Santos Mahogany

thank you for the link, but I have already seen that one, I am not sure if the wood used in lionsteel knives is the santos mahogany, as there is also santos rosewood, and some people even say that it is palo santos
