What is your most comfortable carry?

For me it's a gimme:
Microtech Mini Matrix - cool knife with great blade but light, thin, and deep pocket carry.
 
The least obtrusive in the pocket, for me, is something like a Case Peanut that just lays in the bottom of the pocket unnoticed, or for a clipped knife the SOG Flash I - which weighs pretty much nothing.
 
I don't carry a lot of fixed blades, but of the ones I do have it's obviously the Mora Companion. I forget it's there till my dog starts licking the BBQ grease dripping from it.

For a folder, it's a close call between two all SS knives: Delica and Leek. They don't grab my clothes or rub my skin, they heat up to body temp easily, and even though they're heavier than other handle choices they're small and thin enough to melt into my pants wherever they may be clipped. If I had to choose one I guess the Leek wins for being smaller and lighter, but they both work.
 
I really like my Spyderco Sage 2 and the old g10 ukpk. I like the deep carry wire clip; it is low profile, strong, and easy on the pocket. Compared to my para2. For heavier duty folders I like carrying the BM710, Spyderco endura, and para 2. The fixed blade I find most comfortable is an older case 4 inch semi skinner kind of design. Not my favorite knife, but the sheath rides a little lower and I prefer it.
 
Victorinox Alox Cadet. Miracle I haven't run it through the washer yet. I don't carry any fixed blade knives so I have no idea there.
 
Folder: CRK sebenza. It disappears in my pocket and I forget it until I need it.

Fixed Blade: BRKT Gunny. It rides high and close to the hip and it is never in the way and it isn't heavy at all.
 
Overall most comfy has to be the Blur. That thing is so sleek, light and organically shaped it feels like you were born with it..
Most uncomfortable is a coin toss between the 0200 and the adamas, both because of the wide handle.
 
For folder it's my Kershaw1500 mini task. I feel nekkid without it and I have to leave it in the car when I visit the VA hospital. I have several fixed blades but I very rarely wear them. If I am camping and out in the boonies I'll have my machax on or strapped to my backpack. I've just never been a fixed blade carrier. I have a Schrade sharpfinger and a Steve Skiff fixed I would be afraid I'd somehow lose. I'm not a hunter so the sharpfinger doesn't really get tasked for its intended purpose.
 
Folder Spyderco Nilakka, fixed Esee Izula
 
My Benchmade Barrage 581 is smooth in, smooth out, easy open, easy close, fills my palm perfectly, and cuts like a razor. Haven't stopped carrying it for three years.
 
I do not carry a fixed blade so I can't say on that, but my BM 940 Osborne has to be the most comfortable carry for me.
