They can differ in color, appearance, and feel, but for the most part, they are consistently durable and beautiful. Be careful with wood handles in wet conditions though. They are often porous and water absorbing, which will have a negative effect on the handle if not properly taken care of. Wood handles can vary in price depending on the type of wood you choose.
