Palmwood pros and cons

[Leandroc]

Hi friends, I'm a new knives collector, and I'd like to learn something about more experienced people.
I need to know pros and cons of use of palmwood in handles, this material is more sensitive than others?
Thanks in advance.
Leandro.

I have a nice Afghan style knife with palm wood handles. The material is attractive, but not as strong as many other materials.

Thank you very much.
