my favorite material right now is natural micarta (with a lot of black speckles and imperfections). Mr. Keith Johnson said he called that "pumpkin pie". love it.

Since it rains a lot here, I like handle materials that will stand up to water and usually stay away from wood, if I can avoid it. Even though I bought another folding hunter with a Wood Handle in the last two weeks. It's a weakness I tell ya. Too many nice knives out there to carry and too little time.

jigged bone or bone stag first come to mind but like what is listed above and more too.
