Looks I am a minority here - I am always puzzled when someone describes comfortable handles way too wider and way too thin proportionally to the width/height for my taste. I rarely apply ful force to cut, and prefer to hold the andle in variety of ways. Not a woodcarver, but if somebody look at the handles of carving knives, their cross section is nowhere close to most of the modern knives. Seemingly, this is not a consern for many or worth a discussion, and my understanding of comfortable handle is unorthodox.

It depends on application. On some models I even like finger coils. And on other models I can't stand them.
Neutral handle is the best in my opinion.
Given the option - I'll choose either oval handle, or square handle with rounded corners.
Round handle is however dealbreaker to me. I want to be able to know where the edge is without looking.
