What kind of handles do you like? I have some fancier knives that I got as a gift and they have riveted handles too.

    I don't mind riveted construction. My issue is that the style of grip is very specific to a single hand shape because of how broad it is from top to bottom. So lifting your palm up for the pinch grip greatly weakens the grip on the bottom (or top) of the handle for most hand shapes.

    Optimally? I am a huge fan of round handles since those fit a much wider range of hands. But I also find the victorinox rough polymer grips on their knives get a good chunk of the way towards at least making it feel like you have a solid grip at every point of contact.
