In a larger knife, I find the Military to be the most comfortable. For a smaller knife, I would say either a Native or a Caly3.

The Military is definitely the best fit for me and my big hands. From what I read though, I think I should also check out the Manix.

Both of those knives feel great in my plus size hands. Not quite as great as the superlative Superhawk feels in my hands, but real close. The Millie and Manix IMO are must have Spydercos.

Millie first, then Chinook II/III for me. Other knives feel good in their own ways, which can depend on my mood. However, the Military has the most versatile grip.

Yes, of course! The Chinook 3 is a great one. I need another! :p

I like the palm-filling design of the Dodo and the Poliwog. (Eric Glesser!). They both fill my hand comfortably.

I know I just got it and havent used it a whole lot, but the Captain fits my hand better than anything else I have ever held.

The Spydercos that fit my hands the best would be, Superhawk, Cricket, and the Mule.

Stretch II, MIlitary and Superhawks get lots of mentions don't they!

Does the superhawk feel like a chinook or full size manix in hand for those that have both?

*seriously ponders getting a superhawk and a stretch II*
