Some nice blades there, James. As a history nut and historical reenactor, I am a huge fan of the Green River knives. Those early knives really set the tone for future decades by their raw all-around usefulness and efficiency.
I am pretty much in harmony with some of the other replies in the thread so I won't whip up a list of my favorite bushcraft knife characteristics.
I enjoy both Scandinavian and convex-ground knives for crafting in the bush. The ML knife below is one of my favorite of the 4" convex variety. Good palm swells, balance, comfort, enough tip and blade length to do most things real well. The 1095 blade does all that a decently heat treated blade will do in terms of durability, edge-holding, maintenance (not too hard, not too soft). I guess my A2 Skookum Bush Tool would be my favorite of the Scandi 4"...for the same reasons.
