I like stainless steel, stainless damascus, bronze and copper.
These are materials that don't need to be polished up to look cool.
Brass and nickel silver wind up looking bad after a period of time, and need to be polished, mild steel(blued, or heat colored) rusts and the same with regular carbon damascus.
HANDLES always are handled, and I have real acid skin, and learned real early on what worked well for me.....if the handle materials don't discolor for me due to acid, they probably won't discolor for you.
Best Regards,
