My overall favorite "design" Stockman (w/ turkish clip). As far as who made it, as long as it is well made then it doesn't matter.

Reasoning: I like the curves, the sheepfoot and spey blade the fact you have more then one blade for whatever you need.
I also think it has to do with the time that I was introduce to this style.

My overall favorite knife company Victorinox.

I like the design of the #1 (as you know).  :tu:  Odd looking blade, which I didn't actually like the first time I saw it, but it grew on me and is a great, comfortable blade to use.

I have a #1 both in Grohmann and Cold Steel.

I love that "wasp" blade the fit and finish on the Grohmann are second to none,
I use the Cold Steel as a kitchen knife.

I find it one of the most comfortable knives I own (even more so the No4) :)

You can really choke up the handle, and I wouldn't say I had particularly small hands either.

I can't hold it longer than 5 minutes without hand cramp. Imagine hold a chopstick as knife handle, that's how it feels. It's too thin and doesn't fill my palm so I had to squeeze really hard and hold onto it with my fingers. My hands aren't that big, I wear large sized gloves.

Maybe I should've gotten a #4 instead, although there is still the Colorful Enunciationty 440A they use.

I don't have any of those issues.  I find the steel to be OK as well.  Sharpens up easily enough.
