Knife handles are made of many different materials, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

There are mainly the following types of handles:

1. Wooden handle

Wooden handles provide a good grip, but the disadvantage is that they are difficult to maintain. They do not resist moisture effectively and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. In some countries, the use of wooden handles for tableware blades is prohibited for sanitary reasons.

2. Plastic handle

Plastic handles are easier to maintain than wooden handles, but they can become slippery and fragile over time.

3.G10 controller

G10 is made of multiple layers of woven glass fiber bonded with epoxy resin. After a survey, G10 became the most favorite material for knife lovers. In addition to being easy to grip, waterproof, and rugged, the G10 is inexpensive, lightweight, and extremely durable. G10 patches can be customized color patterns, according to their own style and taste, find a variety of colors and patterns of patches.

4. Carbon fiber handle

Carbon fiber is a material woven from thin carbon fibers that is extremely light and rigid. Carbon fiber is also used in parts for aircraft and racing cars, and its weight is very low. Carbon fiber is more expensive to produce than other common handle materials, so carbon fiber is expensive.

5. Micata handle

Because of its toughness and stability, Mikata is a commonly used handle material on cutting tools.

The Mikata is almost impervious to water and holds firmly when wet, making it an excellent insulator.

Micarta was one of the first "plastics." The Mikata is made of fabric fiber material, while the very popular G-10 is made of glass fiber impregnated resin. Mikata was developed for electrical insulation applications.

6. Titanium handle

It is a flexible, strong, corrosion-resistant and non-magnetic metal. Although titanium is not as light as aluminum in weight, it is twice as strong as aluminum in terms of strength. Titanium has high strength and light weight, and even if it is bent again and again, the performance will not be weakened, so it is often used in frame locks or liner locks.

Titanium is a great material for handles, and aesthetically, anodizing can create a nice look.

As a result, the price of titanium is also higher.

7. Alumina handle

Anodized aluminum is a very durable tool handle material. It is a low-density metal that provides a nice, heavy feel to the knife without adding too much weight to the knife. The disadvantage is that it is easy to slip.

8. Stainless steel handle

Stainless steel has excellent durability and corrosion resistance, but it is not light weight.
