I'm considering purchasing a Kershaw Leek with either the White Smoke Aluminum or Tungsten DLC coated handle.

Aesthetics aside, can anyone tell me based on experience which handle material is more resistant to scratches?

Also, are there any other pros/cons of each handle material?

Thanks in advance.

Get the Leek with the G10 handle and the S30V blade. G10 is extremely durable and S30V blade rocks.
 
I appreciate your reply, however I'm trying to limit the price under $50 and the S30V version is higher than that. I also like G10, my Benchmade 14210 has it and it's great. But this is a gift and I want to keep the price reasonable.

Anyone else have any input?
 
The most scratch resistant handle would be the non-coated, regular leek.

Technically the Boron Leek is the most scratch resistant, with the regular one a close second, then the tungsten.
