Sodium is too dangerous to hold directly. On contact to air sodium reacts quickly to form a layer of sodium peroxide and sodium nitride, and will form sodium hydroxide on contact with the moisture in you hand. These are strong bases.

However, if it could be felt safely its texture would probably be similar to that of cold butter.
