Your Favourite Handle Shape - Fixed Blades?

[JDEEBLADE]

There seems to be a plethora of handle shapes these days and it is difficult to get a line on what is best. My favourite shape of the moment, on a small blade anyway, is similar to the Spyderco Moran Trailing Point. I know this has probably been up before and if anyone can point me to a 'thread' I would appreciate it.

I design this shapes myself for hard use, to applay great forse and impact:

Other criteria was - managibility.
In production knives I think best handle has KaBar 1217 and Randall clones.
Thanks, Vassili.

For MY hand, the Camillus CUDA CQB-1 fits me the best.

I really like grips where the index finger is enclosed, like on the La Griffe.

Combine that with a non-skeletal palm swell and it would be just about perfect for me. I have a custom on order from Günter Böhlke with a grip just like that.

I favor the sculpted grip Dave Beck has on his Wilderness Survival Knife. It's almost like he made it just for your hand it fits so well.

Here's a pic of mine with the companion knife I made for it.
