What is your favorite handle material?
I was just wondering what handle material people like. I tend to like G10 the best overall for everyday use. But, I like the beauty of stag and giraffe bone based simply on looks.

My favorite handle material is the G-10 that Spyderco is currently using. IMO it has a perfect balance between strength, durability, weight, and looks (especially in green :D ). I have few older Spydies & BMs that have G-10 handles and I am not too impressed with the material. The G-10 that :spyder: uses now just seems perfect to me. The grip pattern that they use on such models as the Dodo & Paramilitary feel so good & secure in the hand.

G-10 1st, with jigged bone 2nd. As much as I try to like it, FRN is just not for me. Neither is a metal handle. I don't have anything in CF yet.

Heavy Duty: Definitly G-10
EDC: FRN Because it doesn't rip pockets, is light and very durable
Fancy dress: Well, anything fancy :p

So far, all I have is FRN. I really like it. It is light and durable. Monday, I should have something in G-10. I think I will like it also.
