what is your most comfertable to use knife

Probably the Case/Bose Norfolk.

There's something about the swayback swell-center frame, the excellent F'n'F and the versatile blade selection, proportions, and thin, almost flexible grinds that just feels 'right.' Its lightweight, practical size and flush joints make it very pocket-friendly, too.

For a folder it's my Spyderco Southard. The knife I use the most (time in hand) it's my custom kitchen knife, a Landi with 1095 steel and CF scales.

I have carried a Kershaw mini-task model 1500 for a whole poopload of years, like over 14 years and it does all I ask of it. I was a forklift tech and it got used for gasket removal wire stripping and for accidently removing the air from an industrial tire, I swear I was just bouncing it on the tread and well- you know the rest.
 
My favorite handle is on my least-used knife - A Cold Steel large clip-point voyager (AUS8/G10 version). It just MELTS into your hand. I never use it, though, because it goes dull if a strong breeze goes by.

Nice:)
 
Fixed: It's a toss-up between my custom-scaled BK-16, SYKCO War Dog, and Fiddleback KE Bushie. Each has a very different shape and different materials, but all are 3-d contoured and feel great, cause no hot spots, and fit like a glove.
Swamp Rat RMD and Ryan W High Uinta trail them over so slightly, for me.

In folders, It's the Spycerco Para2 and custom-scaled ZT 0551, followed closely by Spyder's Manix2, and trailed distantly by everything else.

I just can't figure you out. :)
I think you must have smaller hands than myself. (We've discussed our preferences before)
A comfortable folder for me is a large plain-Jane Sebbie or my Zaan. Can't grab hold of a small Seb or a 3" XM-18.
And the BM 755MPR. Wow! I expressed an interest in this folder once and my older son gave me one. The M390 is excellent, but the knife feels like a very small, very heavy brick in my pocket and tears the heck out of a Levi's pocket with the aggressive clip. I will never sell it, of course, but it will go to a museum someday in NIB condition.
I am pleased that these manufacturers make something for everybody.
So there you are...

Toss up between my Swamprat RMD and my KSF Scagel medium hunter, my new Tops BOB Fieldcraft knife is very comfortable too, but haven't got to use it enough yet to say it beats either of those.
