What are your 5 Most comfortable production folders?

[silenthunterstudios]

My Native III has had the best ergos of all the productions I've owned.

My new Cricket. I was worried that I wouldnt like the fit, since I have kinda big hands, buts its like a custom fit.

Also have to add I love SilentHunterStudios' sig about the dogs. All a man needs (IMHO) is a good knife and a good dog. A good partner isn't bad either.

I'd do a full list, but I don't have five folders I would call comfortable.

edited b/c I can!

Benchmade Skirmish
Kershaw Spec-Bump

I also don't consider folders to be comfortable if they aren't grippy. This is why, aside from the Skirmish which still isn't too slick, I have textured G-10 knives listed. Otherwise, the Ronin would probably have a spot up there.

 

[psy-ops]

G10 is deffinitely the most comfortable handle material.

I don't understand how people think stainless is comfortable. It is so slick.

 

[shaldag]

For me, the most comfortable production knives are really clear.
The Spyderco models designed by Ed Schempp.
The Benchmade models designed by Warren Osborne.

Both of these guys pay a lot of attention to how the hand will grip the knife during use.

All time most comfortable in my case has to be the Spyderco Endura. Larger VG10 blade in a light, easy to carry knife, that's also affordable.
