Favorite user handles?

My hands sweat alot and then the knife tends to slide around. So gloves seem to work for me. I guess I could try to use chaulk first but I have'nt thus far.
 
HATE the fusion handles; LOVE the EU handle. I also really like the SF handle, but it's not on any choppers.

For me the BWM handles are just a little small so the knife slips in my hand when chopping, the Fusion Handles don't do that to me.

That's why I got the blisters today.
 
The Tank Buster G10 Magnum handles feel the best to me overall.
 
NMSFNO with hand-shaped micarta handles are the most comfortable handles for me for the bigger blades.

Personally, I'd like to see some Magnum Mudders. Some Mag-Muds on a big knife would rock.
 
I wear a medium sized glove so I am far from the mitts some of you guys have. I like the grips on the Dogfather, and the grips on the 1/300 SHBM. They both feel great in hand.
 
my favorite handles that I've actually used:

custom ad with the palm swell cut in half (like it should be standard (so sayeth I :p))
rat tail
custom shop sar5
basic 9



Itried to fill that list out more, but I have problems with every other handle. Even the basic 9 wasn't something I wanted to keep because of the fully enclosed tang. awesome handle and knife, just wasn't my design type.

That CS Sar5 is pretty much exactly what I pictured in my mind as a mod to a sar5. If I wasn't moving in less than two weeks, I would be trying to buy one of those sar5's to do that same mod. That knife looks awesome.
 
My fave is the Resiprene C handle as on the SOD! Extremely comfortable even with gloves on. I am not sure if it's as durable as a G-10 or canvas micarta, but comfortable it is.
 
I like the handles on the Active Duty the best I think... at least for a small blade.

I think for a larger blade (although I haven't used mine just yet...) the handles on the BWM are awesome.

if you send one in for a similar mod, cut the butt off to the 3rd fastener, otherwise it is very handle heavy. with the butt cut off it's neutral over the index finger. also, the standard scales on the sar5 are designed to grip it back by a fingers length, it's swell/cnc machining force your hand back farther then my modification accepts. with the pommel cutt off, you have to grip it with your finger resting against the gaurd, which is why I made my own handle slabs for it. I would have asked for both additional modifications if I had known it before hand, I just didn't realize it until it was finished.
