Horn is deff. cooler than plastic
this is why i hate stabilized handles. i like untreated wood handles only.Yes...its a feeling 'distinguished by touch' or something 'perceptible by touch' ...
This subtle feeling of grip is what you are paying for with horn,
just like you pay for the better heat-treatment on the steel,
because it has "better feeling" on the stones, etc
Plasticised (stabilized) wood handles are also very different feeling than natural wood,
IMHO all of those plasticisers similalry offer poor (low) tactile response/feeling.
Yes...its a feeling 'distinguished by touch' or something 'perceptible by touch' ...
Interesting. Would you recommend doing that as part of a maintenance regimen?Maybe Im a bit late to the game, but you can put some camelia seed (tsubiki) oil on the horn and it will absorb it and the plastic wont, and just sits on top
This could lead to compulsive behaviours....I just spent a few minutes fondling my horn...
My point was that "feeling more tactile" doesn't have any content.
Is there any difference in long-term durability between the two?
This forum is the dark corner of the internet that promotes compulsive behaviours of all kinds, thats why we are all here no?This could lead to compulsive behaviours.
