Every so often I find myself searching for knives based on a specific specification. In the past these included, Serrations, satin finish, recurve blade, and unique handle material. Now as I develop deeper into my knife mania I find myself looking for comfort and function over ascetics. I've really become obsessed with finger choils. They make a knife so comfortable and easy to use.
I've owned/own a Strider SMF, Spyderco Manix 2, and Spyderco Native. I also am currently on the wait list for a Spyderco super leaf.

At any rate, please list or post pics of your knives with finger choils.
 
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of large finger choils. The only knife I have featuring one is the Manix-2
 
I had a Paramilitary before, think that was the only one. I still ended up choking up with it the same way I do with all others - pinching the blade between my thumb and index finger or thumb and middle finger with index finger on spine of the blade.

To me I'm 50/50 on them around the house and I don't like them for carrying away from the house because I want the most edge available in the legal blade length.
 
Knives of mine with choils from smallest to largest

Spyderco Military
Spyderco Sage 1
Spyderco Manix 2
Strider SnG
 
The Kershaw R.A.M. is a very comfortable knife in-hand, and has a very nice finger choil. It's also one of the best flipper designs ever made, due to the unique lock mechanism.
 
I have others with finger choils but these 3 have the largest.

I have become a big fan of choils too. Especially the ones that have a little bit of material between the choil and blade (the American Lawman choil makes me a little nervous about cutting my finger on it).

Right now all my choil knives are spydies:

UKPK
Sage 1
Sage 2
