Scratching, all metals scratch, depends on the exact alloy mixture for the exact strength and hardness. Durability is a combination of strength and hardness, strength for how well it can take a knock and hardness for how well it can prevent scratching, generally good in one is not good in the other. I believe WF can do Pd, not sure if they have WG/Pd. |
