Tungsten carbide is the hardest and most scratch resistant or wear resistant metal known to man. This means it will resist scratching better than any other metal. This does not mean it is scratch proof i.e. it cannot be scratched. Tungsten can be scratched by non metals such as diamonds sapphires and other crystals found in rocks.
