Stabilized wood works well in these instances. How much use will they see?
G10 and recently carbon fiber are my mains in these conditions. Along with mechanical fasteners like Corby bolts instead of simple pins.
They get dropped, banged enough and this was a challenging time for the epoxy used to maintain a bond. I began hollowing out the full tang for epoxy wells as well as doing similar to the handle scales. Not wanting a gap for food stuffs and moisture to penetrate. Been pleased using the System West epoxy.
Stick tangs that the handle is screwed down is also good when fitting them up.
