Rockstead Shin (the small micarta 21 is no slouch either)

Agree, makes me want to stab my way through an automobile door because I can.:devilish:

LOL I know the feeling.

This, definitely this.

Emerson = Ergos

=Yep

That rockstead handle looks super comfy. I was surprised by the Emerson a100 handle, I thought it was gonna be a brick but it felt great. The sebenza has a great handle. I thought the strider smf was gonna feel terrible with that bumpy angled butt but it was decent.

Spyderco=ergonomics, in my experience.

It's in no where's near "the best" knife, (though much better then I expected), but the CRKT (small) Free Range folder's rubberized grip is amazingly comfortable to handle...

I've been pleasantly pleased with most of Ken Onion's handle designs as well. Strange as they may look at times, they almost always feel good in hand for me. I wonder if he and I don't have matching doppelganger paws...

Benchmade Bone Collector

Absolutely.

Case Sodbuster and Sodbuster Jr. are both really comfortable as well.

Opinel. An 8 or 9 is so far ahead of any other folding knife I've used I wouldn't bother with a top 3.

The Southern Grind Bad monkey with the sculpted G10 is very comfy.

 

[clockman]

I don't carry it very often. The handle on my Chinook 3 has great ergos and very comfy.

So, I just got a Sage 1. The handle needs to be felt to understood. I strongly recommend it. Spyderco seems to always get ergonomics right.

 

[EChoil]

Agree with a lot of you guys, it would have to be a couple of my Emersons. Consistently best ergos in a product line.

Good news! The sages series, is a well thought out model.

 

[Sigsog226]

I've found BM mini ruckus to be about the most comfortable ive handled. They fill the hand nicely. Zt0620 does too.

The g10 millie is just...just so comfy...

A millie in micarta with a palm swell contour would be even better! Or a rubberized handle!
