I found out, that for my hand, all Eric's knives feel extra comfortable, the dodo,poliwog and especially the mini manix :D :D . The mini manix feels like it was custom made to my hand in any grip regular reverse etc...My hands are med/large with "farmer" fingers.
Be Well Arnon :)

My Para is the best in the hand but the worst in the pocket.

The chinook III fits my hand like it was made for it. I have small hands. The Lil Temp feels real good to.

with me having such small hands my vote goes for my poliwog, scorpius, and stretch. also the dodo and d'allara rescue fit me quite nicely.

Many of Spyderco knives are very comfortable to hold.Right now though, I am going to say these.

For me the top 3 most comfortable models are (starting with most comfortable):
1. Mini-Manix / Manix (two best ergonomics I have ever felt on a knife).
2. Military
3. UKPK

The BG-42 military is a dream to handle...
The dodo feels nice in a relaxed grip.
The lava is also pretty dreamy...
Calypso series too... :D
Overall, for prolonged use, the military.
Edit: Gotta give the Lil' Temp an honerable mention. P
