The main reason that metal cooking utensils have wooden handles is to prevent you from burning yourself. Heat is easily transferred in metal. With a wooden handle, you have a very very very low chance of burning yourself. (Unless you touch the metal of course)

It is prone to cracking if subjected to sideways pressure, but in general use it is a good choice for wooden utensils.
