Welcome to the Yard, madborderman07. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I've never had any problems with any of mine, nor have I ever heard of anyone else having that happen. I have hammered on the back of my S6's handle some with a hammer stick, but not even enough to really scuff it yet.
I was really impressed at how well the handles held up in Noss's tests.
Have fun with that DMLE. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
