Most comfortable production folding knife handle?

[legato1]

Blade steel and locks aside, what's the most comfortable knife handle you've encountered. The para 2 and military Came pretty close but we're a little blocky. The zt0200 has an awesome handle. What are some other awesome feeling knives?

 

[Insipid Moniker]

Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter is very, very good. I also find the Benchmade Adamas very comfortable in extended use thanks to it's thicker handle.

Opinel.

The Mora Bushcraft Black has a great feeling handle.

ZT 0200.
Leatherman K502
Kershaw Steven Seagal.
Benchmade Griptilian.

In other words, thick, hand-filling grips with traction on the sides.

CRK Umnumzaan or Rockstead Chi.

I like something a little rounded. The ones that I have are the Benchmade 890 and 581, and the ZT 0561. I had a ZT 0200 and it did feel good but it was a bit too thick and too heavy for me. That is one down side of sculpting the scales, they can get thick, but OTOH the ZT 0561 does it with a reasonable thickness.

My hands just don't want to put down the Emerson's.

The rounded ZT's are very comfy in hand, and fat in pocket. It's a trade off. The Recon 1 is very positive and hand filling, yet thin in pocket. Very grippy G-10!

the emerson cqc 14 has some of the best feeling handles ive ever felt, the design gives you a smaller blade with a full size handle. the emerson cqc8 also has handles that feel superb.

the benchmade mini onslaught is another superb design, both the handle is extremely comfortable and the blade is very nice and useful.

This is a really good question ,for me anyway , if the knife is to uncomfortable to hold / handle I simply wont keep it. But getting back on track
Mora companion
Spyderco stretch frn
Para 2
Esee 6
Benchmade 710
Sage 1
Talwar
The thing is , as this is our hobby /interest , we use , handle the knives a lot more than occasional users so the knives have got to feel right. Not long to Christmas now . It will be nice to see the family BE IT FOR A SHORT while ,Family is important.
