Hello everyone! I tried to find out how 'sensitive' nickel plated hardware is. I couldnt really find out as it seems to depend on many things. From Abas / MMC I once bought a gold plated key lock and it got scratches just by looking at it. Can anyone who bought nickel plated hardware from Abas share his or her experience? Thank you!

@kilian I have Abas nickel plated hardware, but I haven't used it on a project yet. However I do have nickel plated brass hardware from Abbey England on one of my older bags that sees a lot of use, and no issues yet.
Luckily MMC offers much of the Abas range in raw brass, so might be worth looking there.
I believe that nickel is much harder wearing than gold in general, so I would assume that this translates to plating too.
