Which knife do you have or have had that just feels right in your hand.Any grip,closed or open it just fits great. I have a decent collection of knives and they vary in price from forty to five hundred but the one that fits and feels best in my hand is my Timberline Kelly Worden Supreme. This knife was sixty to seventy dollars and I love it.Right now I carry it and a sheeple friendly folder so as not to scare um. So my question is which one is yours?The knife that feels the best and fits the best? Not the best quality or even the best fit and finish. Just like a favorite old T shirt.......................RB
 
BM AFCK. I've never held a knife that fit every grip style comfortably, but the BM comes damn close. When Chris Carracci designed this knife, it was primarily designed to be an offensive/defensive knife for close combat knife fighting, but it works great as a Tactical/Utility knife. It's wicked fast, and wicked pointy, yet it still has plenty of belly for slicin' and skinnin'.

This has been an EDC for me ever since I bought it 8 years ago. That should tell you something, even with the spacer problems and the stripped screws, I've been reading about on the forum, I would still take knife as an EDC over many others that I have available, it just always seems to wind up in my left pocket,(BM 730 Ares rides strong side).

The newer Axis models with the different steels supposedly worked out the problems, they put a nutzert type of fitting in the opposite handle to prevent stripping out the scales, this is all based on my recollection from an article in Tactical Knives, or one of the other, trade rags, as I've never held the newer models.

I still carry the old standby, even though I've rigged it,to avoid having to send it back for warranty repair, what can I say I love that knife.:D
 
The most perfect fit and finished knives in my collection were made by Eugene Shadley with a very close second in the knives made by Richard Rogers.
 
Benchmade AFCK
REKAT Carnivore(Large)...I should have bought another one before they went out of business. :mad:
 
My Lum Grand Master Darn Dao. Bob took the time out to size the handle for my hands, and then balanced the blade from that point on. Moves very well, and handles like a dream.
 
The knife that feels the best in MY hand is the Ontario/Bagwell Hell's Belle that I received just a few days ago. I have large hands, and the "coffin-shaped" wood handle on this knife has plenty of room, and the knife itself has excellent balance for a knife of this size. This Hell's Belle fits me just perfectly!.:).

For a folder, the G-10 Spydie Police model feels pretty darn good in my hand (after I smoothed the edges of the G-10 with a file and some sandpaper).

(Etited 'cause I juzt fond that I cain't spel two goode, an I ain't two dern fast, eithre..:D).
 
Hard question. All my Smith's feel great in the hand as do the Obenauf's and my Carson. I quess it would be a toss up between the Carson E&E and the JW Smith LDC-5, and I think in the end it would be the LDC-5. Then again...............................:D :)
 
My DDR CF EDC feels like it was made to fit my hand. My TTKK was made to fit my hand. Those are #1 for me.
 
Probably my opinel number 8 after I filed down the top of the fishtail and jigged the handle, or my gerber gator which feels good in the hand but is to thick for my pocket.
 
My CRKT Polkowski Companion fits my hand perfectly, but i don,t carry it often due to the AUS-6. Maybe one day I will justify spending $200+ for a real Companion from Polkowski. My BM710 is my best fitting folder.

The CRK small Sebenza is by far the most comfortable knife I've ever held in my hand.

In my hands would have to be my Polkowski handmade knives. I have a couple of different fighters and they fit me like they were built just for me personally :D
Favorite folder would have to be either the MOD Watson or the MOD Janich Tempest, both fit really well in either the reverse or forward grips.
 
my MOD trident was MADE for me (ok, a little exaagerated :))
it simply feels like a part of my hand when i'm holding it
 
An Ed Fowler Pronghorn is the best feeling fixed blade I've ever had in my hand. A Crawford/ Kasper Folding Fighter is the best feeling folder.
