I agree with Doug. Unless he's a very conscientious cook/chef, plan for worse case. Neither of the woods you mentioned will sustain a long soak in the sink or the steamy cookoff in a dishwasher long. On the other hand if he is knowledgeable and careful with his knives the Koa will out last the snakewood for reasons Doug mentioned.
