Knives that feel like extensions of your arm

For a fixed blade, the Carothers Light Chopper has an amazing handle feel (for me) and as far as folders go my Yuna mini EQ-1 melts into the hand.

Bet you it's legal to carry on you in the streets of New York, could probably carry it concealed. :)
 
Emerson Commander for me, actually even more so the Super Commander. Followed closely by the Emerson CQC-8, particularly waveless.

My yojimbo 2 does it for me. Feels so comfortable and natural whilst using.

A lot of Ed Schempp's designs fit the bill for me. I think it has to do with the angle of the blade and the ergos.
Photobucket seems to have exploded so just some Google pics instead of my own:

I really can't stand anything with finger grooves ( sog seal pup is an exception ) as when you try to make a knife fit the hand it just never works because all hands are different. I also don't like when a knife tries to position my han for me , because they only really promote one grip / hand orientation. To me the most comfortable handles are symmetrical or equal ends as you can hold them any way.
 
spyderco native5. Very ergonomic, feels like an extension of the arm. Also, I find the leek to be quite ergonomic too.
