What's Your Favorite Wood for Knife Handles?

There is so many different types of wood for knife handles now days I was wondering if there is one that's favored more than all the rest. My favorite is Dessert Ironwood but there is alot of others that are so nice.

I think my favorite wood right now is a black palm for a handle.  Do like a nice burl though.

Luca, you must love GEC knives with all the different wood handles they use on their traditional folders. I know I do. I wish we had a little history and more info on each type.

Yes Desert Ironwood for sure, yes differences in every scale, yes for the neverending hunt for the best and most beautiful. Cheers to all of us on that quest! Yes to the soul soothing, yes to the mellow swirl...

Robert,

Ironwood is a beautiful wood and always seems to be different on each scale I see

It's amazing that our hobby has so many variations of a simple knife. I guess that's what keeps us going..lol
