Here in northern MN, Ironwood makes a fine knife handle. It is commonly found, very hard on cutting tools (like saws), somewhat difficult to shape but very durable for a handle. Hickory also a good choice if you want a local wood.

My choice (assuming you don't want a local species) is curly maple. Beech is another PC choice.
