I know this is kind of an open ended question, but which JK knife has the most comfortable handle shape in your opinion?
 
Of the ones I own, I'd have to say my first JK has the most comfortable handle. Followed by the Crooked Creek and then the Trapline that I took some sandpaper to.

Peter, KYenglish does some great things with handles.:thumbup:
 
Wow, thanks Cooper, appreciate that,

I just tried to narrow it down and came out with 10, but to be fair to the question, these twoare the ones taht jumped to mind

Pocket Muk


Jk Rover


Bias, maybe, but with smaller knives I find they "lock in" or don't, and these two really did in my hand.

Bigger knives? hands down the Hiker

 
This years Anniversary Knife.
 
Looks like the oval handles are well represented. That hiker looks like one I should try sometime!
 
This bad boy is the most comfortable handle in my collection - mostly because it fills the hand and is nicely rounded on all sides.

The most comfortable handle I've ever put my hands on is my JK Handmade Knives 'The Tool'. It's a contoured canvas micarta handle and fits my medium sized hands PERFECTLY.

Rule #9 has an incredibly comfortable handle too. Of course it's contoured to my hand perfectly.

 
The rounder, the better. Now notice I did not say circular. I like the contoured handle but the one with the fewer "flats" feel the best. Right now the toss up is between by Bolo and my Crooked Creek. Although the handles on my Extended Iris and Toby's Knife vs2 are close behind even they are a different profile.

All of the above.:)

Top to bottom..

Improved Bowie
ViKtim
Tool (my fav.)
Kephart (second fav.)
Rule 9
Bushcrafter
Hiker

I did flatten the sides of the Improved Bowie to make it less round, or as Wade said..less "circular".
As long as the handle is taller than it is wide and doesn't have any squared edges I'm pretty much happy.
 
the viktim did have a nice comfy handle. i think my first JK ever had the most comfy handle. it was a kephart handle that John put on an EDC. i haven't tried the full-sized version, but i doubt you would go wrong with it.
