What is your favorite knife handle material

Stag. There is just something so underwhelmingly stylish and elegant in stag, especially combined with "chrome" styled fittings.
 
I had a thought while reading another thread to ask...

What is your favorite knife handle material? I will let you decide between looker and user.

My favorite knife handle is polished sun bleached elk...followed by bark mastodon ivory. Not sure why those two are not reversed but it is what it is. My third favorite is the golden and somewhat translucent/3D Desert Ironwood

Depends on the knife as much as whether a looker or user, I think.

For looker pocket knife I'm partial to horn or jigged bone.
For a user pocket knife Delrin is great stuff.
FRN is reasonable material for a one-hander.

Micarta or phenolic is nice on a working fixed blade.
Never had a fancy fixed blade. But that birch looked real nice.
