I have both types, but always seem to go for the rosewood one. Something interesting is that if I leave my tool case in the car on a cold night, when I go to use my Rosewood hammer I have to first wipe some form of condensation off it first. No other tools in my case seem to suffer the same. There is not rust. I have never had this happen with the nylon type. Anyone else notice this ? - I have my theory on it but it is only that, a theory.
