Perfect Folder in Hand

Good question, the amount of times as nearest shop 100 miles away that sell knives etc I got the knife in hand and some acute angle digs into hand making the knife so uncomfortable just don't keep it. Best to date spyderco para 2 , rat 1 . I do like choils , still got all the ends so my fingers . Enough ranting mini heatwave in uk it's the heat you know, going for gold, over and in Faron
 
Either my benchmade mini griptilian or my lionsteel SR-2DL comes to mind... i have tiny hands
The cold steel large ti-lite is oddly pleasant as well
 
My vote is for the Manix 2, LW or G-10.

I have plenty of knives that I love to use, but nothing fits my hand quite like a Manix.
 
Not the most expensive

Not the most carried

But they both feel like they were custom made for my hand. Perfect grip for me: Recon 1 and ENLAN-Bee EL03

My Spyderco Dice. Fits my hand so perfectly I'm considering having a custom fixed-blade version of it made.
 
My Strider SnG, Emerson Mini A-100, and my Seamus knives cracked Uber. I forgot to add my Inkosi.

I've owned a large 25 Sebbie to be honest it felt nice on my hand but if we're talking about perfection, it would be:

Coldsteel American Lawman.
Spyderco Gayle Bradley 1
Ontario RAT 1
Spyderco Yojimbo2
BM Large Griptilian
Spyderco Caly3
 
and...dont laugh...

Gerber - 1st Gen EZ-Out

Absolutely. Used a 1st Gen EZ-Out for years. Loved it. It fit better than some of the gloves I own.

Blackie Collins designed a Gerber called the Bolt Action Knife. It didn't look comfortable, but man it sure was.

CRKT Liong Mah Eraser was a hand filling wonder as well. Just a joy to use.

Funny, some of the cheaper knives I've owned have been the most comfortable. Must have something to do with the designer. :)
 
My spyderco manix 2 g10 is by far the most comfortable. But my native 5 g10 is more comfortable when I choke up on it

I must admit you're right on.
I keep looking for a fairly thick handled (hollow) titanium with three to four inch blade and last night I landed on this thing. Gonzo brand $20. Not Ti but I might have ordered it if it were. Could be a bit thicker but that's what I'm looking for. I almost bought one of the fluted sunburst looking handled Spyderco knives until I saw how thin the scales are. Nope, nope, nope. I had my finger on the buy button for a fluted Milli then I saw the spec for the scale thickness; I think it is thinner than the regular Ti Milli.



ASLO when I saw my first Griptillian I first imagined the handle to be like the one on this seven dollar box cutter. Note the diamond pattern just like the Griptillian. By the time I actually bought the Grip I had matured and found out unicorns were a myth and found out the handles were more slick like nylon. The thing this knife has going for it beyond being fairly thick is the handle has a slight rubberized quality to it. The box knife SUCKS; the blades pop out in use, I have studied it closely but the reason is fairly subtle and not easily solvable. By the way it has one of the best clips too. Super robust attachment but nice and thin and long. Will even clip over a thick tool belt nail pouch or onto the thinest slacks.

Wannabe knife makers . . . buy one . . . study the clip . . . buy the rights to use it . . . PLEASE.



So yah . . .

I have been looking up most of these knives to see what the heck every one is talking about (a photo or two sure would be nice)
anyway they make a Ti version 1/2 inch thick handle ! Oooooh la la
yes I know too thick for the pocket, belt pouch time.
I'll keep that one in the shopping book marks. Thanks !

they call it a HEA Designs + Liong Mah Ace Flipper Knife Titanium (3.5" Stonewash)

Brutal blade . . .
I better buy another grinding wheel for the bench grinder.
